I followed these instructions to the letter, and get the same result I
got a few weeks ago.  I posted a question then, but no responses.  May
I try again?

Everything seems to go just fine throughout these build instructions.
For the final step, I put it in /usr/local/lib.

    make install prefix=/usr/local/lib/squeak

and I made sure /usr/local/lib/squeak exists before doing the make install.

The make install appears to work fine, and I am able to see squeak -version:

$ squeak -version
3.9-7 #1 Wed Jul 14 12:07:56 CDT 2010 gcc 4.3.3
Croquet Closure Cog VM [CoInterpreter VMMaker-oscog.20]
Linux chrisT60p 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59
UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
plugin path: /opt/4dst/thirdparty/squeak/lib/squeak/3.9-7/ [default:
/opt/4dst/thirdparty/squeak/lib/squeak/3.9-7/]

However, when I try to launch an image:

  squeak my.image

The image does not launch and I get the following:

    could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either:
      - check that /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.9-7//vm-display-X11.so
exists, or
      - use the '-plugins <path>' option to tell me where it is, or
      - remove DISPLAY from your environment.

notice the double-slash in reference to the plugins location.  Perhaps
that's the problem, but what's the correct solution?

Any advice is greatly appreciated..

 - Chris
