Debian etch amd64 squeak redux.

1.  http://ftp.squeak.org/debian does not contain debs for amd64 architecture.

2.  Norbert Hartl has provided a package for the squeak-vm at
http://selfish.org/files/deb/squeak-vm-i686_0.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

this can be installed after downloading
> dpkg -i squeak-vm-i686_0.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

You will also need the SqueakV3.9.sources and an image file from
http://squeak.org/Download/

squeak-vm will look for these files in the same directory used to
start squeak-vm when started as:

> squeak-vm <your.image>

See http://www.squeakvm.org/unix/doc/squeak.html for command line arguments.


3. Debian lenny includes squeak-vm  on amd64 architecture.

4. Also note that ubuntu 8.04 also has squeak-vm.  (untried as yet)

5. This issue has been reported on Mantis at
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7029
and I have been asked to ask for others that know how to contribute to
making available suitable package on ftp.squeak.org/debian.

>From my limited knowledge of deb packages the basics are already
available : Norbets deb plus the other i386 packages are needed to be
put together.
