If you mean that the start button doesn't work in the control panel, then 
that's a known issue related to OB (so it will be fixed soon), but you can 
still start Seaside by inspecting the button and triggering it's action 
manually or using smalltalk code directly.

There is some incompatibility with streams though. WAUrlEncoder is trying 
to mimic a Stream, but it doesn't implement #basicNextPutAll:, only 
#basicNextPut:. This isn't an issue with Pharo, but Squeak's 
TextConverters use them. It can easily be fixed by adding the missing 
method.
