Debian etch amd64 squeak redux.
http://ftp.squeak.org/debian does not contain debs for amd64 architecture.
Norbert Hartl has provided a package for the squeak-vm at
http://selfish.org/files/deb/squeak-vm-i686_0.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
this can be installed after downloading
dpkg -i squeak-vm-i686_0.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
You will also need the SqueakV3.9.sources and an image file from http://squeak.org/Download/
squeak-vm will look for these files in the same directory used to start squeak-vm when started as:
squeak-vm <your.image>
See http://www.squeakvm.org/unix/doc/squeak.html for command line arguments.
- Debian lenny includes squeak-vm on amd64 architecture.
If you are using Damien Cassou images (that does not contain .sources files) you'll need to download the correct sources files from squeak.org because the debian packages just install the vm and not any .sources files. (as in point 2). You'll have to copy the sources files to every directory where you have an image.

Also note that ubuntu 8.04 also has squeak-vm. (untried as yet)
This issue has been reported on Mantis at
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7029 and I have been asked to ask for others that know how to contribute to making available suitable package on ftp.squeak.org/debian.
From my limited knowledge of deb packages the basics are already
available : Norbets deb plus the other i386 packages are needed to be put together.
