John,

I haven't loaded SqueakAmp on my Linux box, but here's a guess as to what
may be happening.  The postscript code of the GUI changeset opens
SqueakAmpMorph, and the first time this happens, it will populate the
"Available" file list by recursively descending the current working
directory.  Is it possible that you're starting squeak from a directory
that takes a long time to descend, or is it otherwise hanging while
descending?  To test this theory, stub out SquekAmpPlaylist>>allFiles or
SqueakAmpPlaylist>>allDiskObjects , and see if it comes up without hanging.

By the way, you also need to make sure the MPEG plugin works on your Squeak
install before you can hope for SqueakAmp to work.
