Hi, I seem to be having trouble getting squeak to run on one of my machines.
It's an amd64 running gentoo Linux with x86_64 as the architecture.
If I build Squeak from the current sources I get the following segfault:
miles@salmon ~/src/Squeak-3.9-8 $ squeak Squeak3.9-final-7067.image
Segmentation fault

If I try using the i686-pc-linux-gnu download, I have to force it to use that architecture, and then I get the following error:
miles@salmon ~/src/Squeak-3.9-8 $ squeak Squeak3.9-final-7067.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
I do have the file at /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.9-8/vm-display-X11 but it doesn't end in .so I'm not sure if that's OK or not.
if it is needed, config.guess outputs: salmon Squeak-3.9-8 # ./config.guess x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
On some tangent questions:
Also, is inisqueak now obsolete? The i686 installer didn't include one (but it did include the man page for it) and the source install built one but didn't install it. And if I try to run it from the build directory it doesn't behave as described in the man file.
I also get this error when running make uninstall:
salmon bld # make uninstall if test -n ""; then \ /bin/sh /home/miles/src/Squeak-3.9-8/platforms/unix/config/uninstall ; \ fi rm -f /usr/local/squeak/lib/squeak/3.9-8/squeak rm -f /usr/local/squeak/bin/squeak rmdir /usr/local/squeak/bin /bin/sh: -c: line 6: syntax error: unexpected end of file make: *** [uninstall-plugins] Error 2 salmon bld #
Hopefully this information is useful. If you would like me to do anything to give you more information about any of the situations mentioned above, just let me know.

Use the most up to date sources from Subversion on squeakvm.org also.

If you follow the recipe above, it should work fine. However, if you are still getting seg faults, try running your vm under a debugger (gdb, ddd, etc). When it dies, the debugger will show you where it's happening. Sometimes that is enough to point you to the problem.

David, thanks, I'll give that a try
I did use a debugger to see where it died and it didn't really reveal much. It actually looked quite odd that it died where and why it did.
I won't bother posting information about that until I have given your approach a try
Thanks again!

David, the link to the final attatchment in the archive you listed above for step 7 (http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2007-November/001675.html) looks garbled.
I'm assuming I can get the file by just replacing the filename in the previous url with platforms-unix-plugins-AsynchFilePlugin-sqUnixAsynchFile.c.diff but I figured I'd give you a heads up incase you hadn't noticed that before.
Oh, and building from the svn source got me passed all of the segfaults I was having before, thanks again!
