New Debian packages are at the usual location, as described here:
"Squeak for Debian Users" http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3616
Several new things:
1. The browser plugin is packaged now. You need to install "squeak-plugin". I've seen it work on galeon, mozilla, and konqueror. konqueror users, be aware that you have to install an extra package in order to use "netscape" plugins -- it took me a while to figure this out. I have no idea why it doesn't work under Mozilla Firefox; if anyone figures it out please let me know! 2. The VM is now named "squeakvm", and "inisqueak" is now named "squeak". The idea is that end users can just use the "squeak" script all the time and not need to learn two commands. Also, "squeak" by itself now installs an image and launches Squeak. More on this is described in the next message. 3. The CVS snapshot version of the VM has also been updated. The package is called "squeak-vm-nk". 4. autoconf is pre-run for you. Such a short sentence that is, and yet so much strife went into making it true -- not all autoconf's work, and in some situations the resulting script *appear* to work, but it has actually *half* enabled something. Be glad it is done, and do NOT do "cd ..../config; make". Run the configure script and be happy the autogods are complacent right now. Wake them at your peril.

Did you hear about the fix I eventually (after hard work) found to make "cd ..../config; make" work with the latest automake 1.8.5, autoconf 2.59?
If not, email me. I have reported it to Ian though.
