Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm wondering, Ron emailed me before he emailed here, and in doing so
reminded me that I still had that image and my outdated tutorials still
on my personal website. I was wondering both whether anyone on here
feels that the tutorials and image, if cleaned up, would be helpful,
and if so whether there is a more appropriate place to put them than my
personal webspace. My original intention had been to basically provide
a Squeak answer to Practical Common Lisp, as you might have gathered
from the image name, but since there is no way I'm honestly going to
finish that effort soon I think it might make sense to merge what I've
got with existing documentation efforts. If anyone out there has a site
that's active, I'd be happy to donate what I have. Otherwise, I'll just
merge them into the Swiki gradually.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the feedback.<br>
<br>

Assuming you have root access you need to use that access to execute<br><br>/home/ron/Squeak/Squeak-3.7-7/INTALL<br><br>(not sure if /home/ron/Squeak/Squeak-3.7-7 must be your current<br>directory at the time or not -- I always make it so when I do it, though).
<br><br>That at least installs the man and VM binary and related files (like<br>plugins).<br><br>The INSTALL script is supposed to also install squeakini (it doesn't)<br>and to copy the source, image and changes file from /home/ron/Squeak
<br>into roughly the same locations as the binary, to allow squeakini to<br>easily set up an empty directory for the recommended install (it<br>doesn't, do that either).<br><br>To do it by hand, copy the .changes, .image and .source files from
<br>/home/ron/Squeak/ to /usr/local/lib/squeak. Then I recommend creating<br>soft links named "squeak.image" and "squeak.changes" in the same<br>directory pointing to the version-specific .image and .changes files,
<br>respectively. Now you're done with root access.<br><br>In your home directory, create yet-another-directory and in that, copy<br>/usr/local/lib/squeak.image and /usr/local/lib/squeak.changes locally<br>into the directory, and create a soft link names
SqueakV3.sources (or<br>.source -- whatever it is) to the real copy at<br>/usr/local/lib/squeak/SqueakV3.sources and from that point on, invoking<br>squeak while in that directory should just bring the image right up,<br>
while leaving master copies of everything in the /usr/local/lib/squeak<br>directory, useful for other users on the machine and for yourself if you<br>should do something that manages to so totally trash your local image<br>
and changes file that you can only give up in disgust (it can happen,<br>but you have to work at it :)).<br><br>Any of the above that's wrong is my fault, btw, but it's how I remember<br>doing it on a new home linux box 3 days ago.
