[Newbies] Ubuntu Linux

[Richard Eng]

I¹m having no luck at all. I¹m trying to build from sources but the system
keeps complaining that gcc can¹t create executables. I tried doing it as
root but it made no difference.

This is ridiculous. Everything is fighting against me. I don't want to have
to debug my C development environment. I just want to run Squeak!

Why is it that everyone else has no problem running Squeak 3.9 under Feisty
Fawn??? This is driving me crazy.

What binaries/libraries are the Squeak VM installation looking for?

Ok. I see.

I guess, this vm works with never images, too

Just do an installation from source. Download the source of the vm
and follow the instructions in the package to install.
It works without problems here.

Good luck
