Problems with Squeak 3.8

I am trying to get Squeak 3.8 running on a linux system and
am having problems.
1) I have been able to install some packages using the
SqueakMap package loader but have not been able
to install:
'Refactory Browser for 3.8 (->3.8.42)
The mcz file is successfully downloaded but
cannot be read. Intead the debugger is brought
up on the MCMczReader method:
'
zip
zip ifNil:
[zip := ZipArchive new.
zip readFrom: stream].
^ zip
'
During the invokation of method zip the code:
'zip readFrom: stream'
is invoked which in turn invokes the code:
'ZipArchive findEndOfCentralDirectoryFrom: stream
which returns 0 which in turn causes the invokation of:
'self error: 'can''t find EOCD position'.
2)
If the debugger is brought up on a method such as:
'
myMethod
a := 1.
b := 2.
c := 3.
d := 4.
self invokeMethod.
'
where an error occurs during the invokation of 'invokeMethod'
then the debugger fails to highlight the text 'invokeMethod'
and instead hightlights 'elf invokeMe'. That is to say
the hightlighting of text is shifted left 4 characters of where
it should be; exactly the number of assignments which preceded
the hightlighted text. It is apparent that someone is counting
characteres and counting ':=' as a single character.
These problems are too common to be real bugs so I assume they
have something to do with my setup or my use of Linux.
I have not set any preferences.
Thanks
