First try cd to the directory containing the image, then execute squeak ...
eliminate the "path_to_image" part.

Be sure your ports tree is up to date ,,, you may have an older version of
freetype.

The VM just says "i386" which means an Intel rather than PowerPC. Could be
limited to 32 bit version. The folks on the vm-dev mailing list would know,
so join that list and post your results there. I track that list so I
suggest we work this issue there and post a summary result back here.

Good luck!
