I don't know how to fix what you've described or whether an alternate install would work.

Someone else may, and if so will likely chime in.


 IF there is not functionality you know you need in the versions of squeak you've downloaded you might look at installing this:

 or this

http://www.pharo-project.org


to get an operational smalltalk environment.

Hi Paul,

I did what you said and it came right up, but there seems to be a couple of problems.

I'm getting syntax error windows intermittently popping up when
I select methods or classes in the System Browser.

And, this is what I display for the comment for Class Integer
(displayed in octal here) in the System Browser, but instead of newlines
(\012) I'm getting boxy graphical characters (see attachment).

Does this mean I must do an alternate install?

Woops.  That was wrong.  the first command should have been


sudo /bin/sh INSTALL

and not

sudo ./config.guess



The INSTALL file explains everything if you read it.  This will not
work on a 64 bit OS.
