[Vm-dev] Install squeak on BSD x64

[Gary Dunn]

Good news! And mahalo nui to Ian for building the 64 bit vm.

By default FreeBSD does not allow applications running as root to attach to
the 0.0 display. X can connect across a network, and it could end up
allowing someone one a different machine to gain root privileges on yours.

In an earlier post I told you to put the sources file in the same directory
as the image file. Works for me. The documentation says to put the sources
in the same directory as the vm, which the error you got says. Squeak will
run without sources  you just won't see code in the browser. You will want
sources.

# squeak -display :0.0 Squeak4.2-10966.image


CHECKING cogvm
CHECKING squeakvm
No protocol specified
Could not open display `:0.0'.

But suddenly I asked myself. Why su? And I ran it from my common user
console. And It started! I get error window: "Squeak cannot locate the
sources file named /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.4.7-**2383/SqueakV41.sources".
But I see the projects window and can work with it. I need to solve problem
with sources file. But this is absolutely another problem.
Hurray! Finally we did it! Thanks to everybody! I did not expect to get so
friendly supporting and help!

Let us make summary of my question (Installing Squeak vm on my platform:
FreeBSD 8.2 x64). Ian Piumarta gave the link to tar.gz file with compiled
version for my platform. I see a lot of files for different platforms in
that location: http://squeakvm.org/unix/**release/<http://squeakvm.org/unix/release/>
What kind of place is it? Who builds this packages?
It is a good place to look for certain compiled vm for anybody. I think next
time (for example when I will upgrade to FreeBSD 9.0) I will visit this
folder first and search necessary package there.
