I've just tried to install squeak on two machines (I'm hoping
to do my dissertation in Smalltalk).  One is running the solaris
os and one linux.  Both are showing the same error message and
no one involved can figure out why.  Specifically, both seem to
start up ok but both show a little white box in the upper left
hand corner that says: "Squeak cannot locate the changes file
named Squeak2.3.changes." and so forth.  The file is definitely
present, in the same directory, and has the same name it came
with (which is the name in the error message).  Anyone got any
ideas about this?

We haven't done much with the solaris installation but I
have played around with the other one on my linux box (300mhz
K6-2 w/32meg pc-100 sdram). I'm having a host of problems that
may be interrelated.  After startup (it works in spite of the
error mentioned above) the environment runs fine for a while,
then either shuts itself down with a "low memory" sort of error
message or else it starts ignoring the mouse.  When I monitor
system resource usage the memory looks fine but at times
the cpu usage rises to 100% (press the middle mouse button and
a little menu appears with the option "keep this window up"
if I choose to keep it up then the cpu usage starts rising
until it reaches 100% and then stays there until I close the
menu, at which point it drops rapidly).  All rather confusing.

I couldn't find any mention of this on any of the squeak web
pages (unless it's on the one at gatech, which I can't get on
for some reason) so I'm crying for help here.

Thanks,
Kevin
