[Squeakland] Running etoys on Intel-based Macs

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Hi Kim and all,

Talking about running Squeak in other architectures. A friend and me was 
trying to run it in a Debian Gnu/Linux on a Amd64 procesor.

We tried first installing a debianized version of squeak-sources for 
amd64 and then a debianized version of squeak-vm for 32 bit (we don't 
find the 64bits one). When we tried to launch it we get this error message:


could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either:
  - check that /usr/lib/squeak/3.7-7/vm-display-X11.so exists, or
  - use the '-plugins <path>' option to tell me where it is, or
  - remove DISPLAY from your environment.


when we made a "ldd  /usr/lib/squeak/3.7-7/vm-display-X11.so" we get a 
message about some shared libraries installed and others not, so we use 
the deb packages utilities to install the absent libraries, but making 
"ldd  /usr/lib/squeak/3.7-7/vm-display-X11.so" again we get the same 
list of uninstalled shared libraries and then we realize that the only 
shared libraries percibed by vm-dispaly-X11.so where the ones which has 
32 emulation support.

¿There is another way to install Squeak on AMD64 bits Linux platform or 
how can go to this path and get Squeak running?

Cheers,

Offray
