Nothing that I might recognize stood out for me.

It wanted to install a 64-bit version.  I haven't attempted to edit to
file for 32 bits.

I used:

/root/Desktopo/squeak/platorms/unix/cmake/configure

followed by:

make
make install

I got the same results as before, though there was a squeakvm.core
file in my build directory as a result of the crash.

There is a vm-display-X11 directory in my build directory, but when I
open it, there's a directory named "CMakeFiles".  Inside that, is
"vm-display-X11.dir" and, going further, it looks like its a
continuing series of nested directories.

I haven't tried that yet, partly because I don't know enough about
what's going on.

The mystery continues.
