<p>The only real problem is that the VM is not issuing an understandable error message in the case of a missing runtime library. For example, if the VM module-display-X11 module requires runtime library libXrender, and if libXrender.so is not installed, then a message like this would be sufficient:</p>
<p>$ squeak myImage<br>
failed loading module /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.16.6-3772/so.vm-display-X11 due to libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory<br>
could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either:</p>
<ul>
<li>check that /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.16.6-3772/vm-display-X11.so exists, or</li>
<li>use the '-plugins ' option to tell me where it is, or</li>
<li>remove DISPLAY from your environment.<br>
Aborted (core dumped)</li>
</ul>
<p>I can make this work on interpreter VM (SVN trunk) but module loading seems to have changed on oscog and I have not yet been able to make it work here. More to follow.</p>
