OK, I've been watching for awhile now, since I upgraded to Sierra, and still
can't find a Squeak package that will run.  I'm not the greatest Smalltalk
genius, but it looks like the issue was solved in the Pharo community.  I
can run theirs -- but I like Squeak!  Even if I run the nightly builds or
the 6.0 alpha, it still fails.  When I run it, an icon appears in my dock,
but there is no window. 

I did search through the forum to see if I could find any solution, but the
Pharo discussion is all that turns up for me -- maybe I missed it somehow. 
I found:

This thread has a broken link to a VM that worked for one guy, but I can't
find it now:

This poor soul posted in December, but received no replies:

Right now I have to run Squeak in a Linux VM.  I can't imagine I'm the only
person to be having this problem -- is Mac OS X Sierra not a target platform
for Squeak?  Should I just switch to Pharo?
