I have been trying to install Squeak on Ubuntu 7.10 w/out success
I was able to install it w/ Debian packages but the sound didn't work. At the advice of my colleague Luke Gorrie I tried installing it from the VM-Source tarball http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/unix-linux/Squeak-3.9-8.src.tar.gz
I used the documentation in /unix/doc/HowToBuildFromSource.pdf
I ran the configure script and got an error that it couldn't find npsqueak libraries.
I then tried ../config/configure --without-npsqueak
it configured but this showed up in the config.log
configure:26825: result: ******** disabling vm-display-X11
I then did make and make install
Predictably, I get this error when I try to open a squeak image
$ squeak olenepal-demo.4.image could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either: - check that /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.9-8/vm-display-X11.so exists, or - use the '-plugins <path>' option to tell me where it is, or - remove DISPLAY from your environment. Aborted (core dumped)
Please assist :)
What's the best place to look for documentation on Squeak installation? I found some in the Squeak wiki, OLPC wiki, and a few other places but no single comprehensive resource. I will try to add notes on how to successfully install Squeak on Ubuntu 7.10 onto the OLPC Wiki once I can successfully install it myself :
Help! Part of my job is to teach people how to use Squeak so our development team (the real programmers) can focus full-time on developing learning activities w/ Squeak. I need to get up to speed on Squeak quickly. Thanks
