Hi Samuel, Sorry for the late reply. I was just reviewing my Spam folder and found you email stuck there.

So, I've recently moved to Gentoo Linux and want to run the Squeak VM. Unfortunately, there's no ebuild or package for the OpenSmalltalk VM (There is one for 'classic' VM though). As such, does anyone have a list of the dependencies so that I can install them? (or if someone has written a ebuild/package for VM.)
I'm not aware of an ebuild.
I presume you've got a 64-bit Gentoo install, and the default release VM is 32-bit. Pharo & Squeak use the same VM (although Pharo depends on a few more external libs) and has some instructions for other distributions here. http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation
But 64-bit is getting close http://forum.world.st/Breaking-the-4GB-barrier-with-Pharo-6-64-bit-td4922305...
Or you might try Squeak's experimental 64-bit... http://squeak.org/downloads/
You can also use 'ldd' to determine the dependencies. http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/409/how-to-list-shared-library-dependen...
(maybe after I get it working I'll learn how to write an ebuild and do
that.)
Easing installation on another platform would be cool. Here are your sources... https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm
