I just uploaded new SuperCollider packages to my ppa which include a fix
to capitalisation issue, also commited fixed to broth to change default
classpath, as well as ammeding the quarks symlink.
thanks for reporting this!

Bug description:
Supercollider quarks install fine (in the sense that sc successfully creates a
symlink from ~/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/Quarks/quarkname to
~/share/SuperCollider/quarks/quarkname ), but that doesn't have any effect
since ~/share/SuperCollider/Extensions isn't in sc's search path. I think the
following line needs to be added to /etc/skel/.sclang.cfg:
+~/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/
In addition, there's a little bit of a gotcha about capitalisation. Because the
symlink changes the capitalisation of "quarks":
~/share/SuperCollider/quarks -> /usr/share/SuperCollider/Quarks/
...the supercollider code gets a bit confused. (At one point it uses
"standardizePath" which resolves the symlink, but then later it takes that
resolved basename "Quarks" and uses it when really it should be using
"quarks".) This should really be fixed in sc itself of course, but for now I
recommend changing p:d to use lowercase "q" to avoid this glitch. (The glitch
manifests itself when sc creates ~/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/Quarks
alongside the existing ~/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/quarks) So the fix for
this bit is to move /usr/share/SuperCollider/Quarks to
/usr/share/SuperCollider/quarks then also remember to update the symlink at
/etc/skel/share/SuperCollider/quarks
