You cannot only install that package. There are several packages to install
them.

In our website you can find almost all information:
http://www.squeakdbx.org/

In this case, you should read: http://www.squeakdbx.org/Installation

But...it is something like this:

Installer ss project: ’SqueakDBX’; install: ’SqueakDBXPharoLoader’.    (or
you can download it manually using monticello browser)

And then evaluate:

SqueakDBXPharoLoader loadSqueakDBX
Instead of using our own loaders you can also use the Metacello
configuration. You have to download the package ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX
from the repository MetacelloRepository in SqueakSource and then evaluate:

(ConfigurationOfSqueakDBX project version: '1.0') load.

I suggest you to read:

- http://www.squeakdbx.org/Compiling%20and%20installing%20OpenDBX
- http://www.squeakdbx.org/Compiling%20for%20different%20backends

In http://www.squeakdbx.org/documentation   you have a lot of info.

Yes, the loader should fix this.

Almost all information is in the website. Just ask if you have further
questions.
We have our own mailing list also (I have cc'ed it)

A little note: I have ever tested SqueakDBX on Croquet, so, I don't know if
it works or not. I guess...but not tested (at least for our team).

Cheers!
