Hi there,
For a while now I have been trying to get Squeak 1.3 to work on various sytems (Windows 96, Linux, Mac). I haven't been able to do anything useful with it yet though. I get it to start, but anything more complicated than 'hello world' like stuff results in errors.. or hangs my system (any of them). Heck, evensimply opening views often fails.
I can't load any *.st or *.cs files. When I import Newsagent.st or the stuff from the Windows Junta and try to get them to work, it always results in 'message not understood' and whatever errors indicating that there are commands missing. Trying to fix things by hand usualy leads to cascading error messages popping up all over the place... and I am not that good in low-level programming in Smalltalk yet to solve them easily.
I love the whole concept of Squeak, but as it is now it's not of much use to me. But before I delete the thing from all my systems forgood, I want to give it one more chance. So, could anyone point out to me what the heck I might be doing wrong? What precautions should I take to make Squeak work properly, otherwise than stated in the (skimpy) documentation.
Thanks in advance!
Greetz,
