Checking whether a VM plugin has been loaded

Hi,

I would like to try the ObjectiveC plugin for Squeak on OS X, but  
when I follow the instructions of http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/ 
pipermail/squeak-dev/2004-June/078601.html, I keep getting primitive  
failed.

I did the following to obtain the attached debug log:
- downloaded the UNIX VM 3.7-7 and 3.7-5989 image
- found that the ObjectiveCPlugin was already included in the VM's  
package contents (tried again later by replacing it by the one  
mentioned in your mail)
- placed the nib file in the correct directory (the dir didn't exist  
yet)
- installed VMMaker from SqueakMap
- connected to the SqueakSource repository for the plugin using the  
Monticello browser
- waited a while :)
- got the primitive failed error

I'm not sure how I can check whether an external VM plugin is loaded,  
but the printed result from Smalltalk listLoadedModules is  # 
('SocketPlugin 19 March 2005 (i)' 'LargeIntegers v1.3 19 March 2005  
(i)' 'FloatArrayPlugin 19 March 2005 (i)' 'Matrix2x3Plugin 19 March  
2005 (i)' 'BitBltPlugin 19 March 2005 (i)' 'B2DPlugin 19 March 2005  
(i)' 'SecurityPlugin 19 March 2005 (i)' 'FilePlugin 19 March 2005  
(i)' 'MiscPrimitivePlugin 19 March 2005 (i)')
Is there any way to check whether the plugin was loaded correctly?

Thanks in advance,
Coen De Roover
