Oh my, the 'Slathering SafflowerOil release? - that is seriously out  
of date Jay. Two years is it? Something like that anyway.
You need the 3.8b6 'EndOfTheRoad' version and a 3.8.1 image -
http://map1.squeakfoundation.org/package/2e7f103e-22a6-470d- 
affe-54b1d04ef34a
for the vmmaker package. Use SVN to get latest source tree.

Yup, the current running Mac vm is built from the above combo, as is  
the RISC OS vm etc.

That should never be the case, though on occasion one or other of us  
does mange to cause a small break. Generally a version of VMmaker  
combined with a matching level of the svn tree and a contemporaneous  
image will work since it is what is used to build 'production' vms.

John points out that no attempt has been made so far as he knows to  
build a 64bit Carbon version.
