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 :)
When I have had this problem in the past, I solved copying npbsqueak.so from other places to the proper location... It's a guess but I think you can have --without-npsqueak and *at the same time* graphical display. See that you get "configure:26825: result: ******** disabling vm-display-X11" as a result of your compilation and also a complain about the inhability to find the "vm-display-X11" driver.
We have the installation procedure documented (in Spanish) here:
http://www.el-directorio.org/Squeak/Instalacion#head-1575ffc64426e6e4adec2c3...
Notice the root permissions to run the install script, for better results. My test machine for building that doc was pretty similar to yours (with an older Ubuntu, but this is not a big deal)

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
I hope this help. What learning activities and experiences are you and your team working on?
Cheers,
Offray
