Hi, You probably get fairly far by first downloading the 2.8 package for your sysetm out of ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu/Smalltalk/Squeak/2.8 and then getting the 2.9a images and changes. I think the 2.8 VMs still work fine with 2.9.
cheers

I'm interested in playing around with Nebraska and 2.9a of Squeak. I downloaded Squeak2.9a-2988.zip which includes the .image and ..changes. The problem is I don't have a .sources or a VM for 2.9a and I heard I need a new VM but all I can find is VMs built for MacOS.
Looks like .sources is in
ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu/pub/Smalltalk/Squeak/2.0/SqueakV2.sources.sea.bin
I can not extract this under linux. Are the .sources for 2.9a not available in .zip or .tar.gz ?
I would try following the links on
appropriate to your OS for the VM

ok, I downloaded the file Squeak-2.9a.pre1-src.tar.bz2. I extract, create a build dir, cd build, ../src/unix/configure works fine, but make gives me
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
Here is the output of ../src/unix/configure
