I think that should work. I put in aclocal-1.7 as a stopgap to avoid 
aclocal-1.8, which *doesn't* work.

That's because it's not in CVS.

You generate that from Squeak using VMMaker before you build.

Set up a Squeak image in the root directory (i.e. the one named "squeak", 
above platforms).
Load VMMaker from SqueakMap.
Open a VMMaker tool.
Tell it to generate sources to the src/ directory.
Now you should have
	squeak/squeak.{image,changes} (which you put there)
	squeak/src (generated by VMMaker)
	squeak/platforms (downloaded from CVS)

If you can't run Squeak at all, I've made a tarball of my src/ directory and 
put it at http://bike-nomad.com/squeak/SqueakVMSource3.6g-3.tgz

Just unpack it in the squeak directory.

Have you read the docs in
	squeak/platforms/unix/doc/HowToBuildFromSource.html/index.html

Perhaps. I don't have one.
