I use squeak inside a chroot as per instructions here:

as there is no 64 bit perfect setup for squeak
I installed squeak inside the chroot with the repositories from squeak.org (section other OSes)
hope this help
Yes is does -- it does confirm that a simple install is not available for amd64 architecture. By simple, I mean sudo apt-get install squeak.
And it doesn't. I have a hard time convincing my sys admins and their bosses to take seriously a package that does not have a straightforward install process on 64 bit machines.
chroot'ing in their words is for 'legacy and un-supported systems that should not be installed on a production server.'
I am trying to set up a demonstration server that will allow squeak with seaside to be considered a viable alternative. I should say that I'm not a sys admin and am feeling very frustrated with the lack of installable options.
So please ... could those that maintain the debian and / or other os vms create an installable 64 bit deb and / or rpm.
Thanks
