Error when Installing metacello

hollystyles
Hi,

I CTRL + d the following from the metacello githhub readme in a workspace of a fresh download of squeak on Windows 10.

"Get the Metacello configuration (for Squeak users)"
Installer gemsource
    project: 'metacello';
    addPackage: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello';
    install.

"Bootstrap Metacello Preview, using mcz files (#'previewBootstrap' symbolic version"
((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMetacello) project 
  version: #'previewBootstrap') load.

"Load the Preview version of Metacello from GitHub"
(Smalltalk at: #Metacello) new
  configuration: 'MetacelloPreview';
  version: #stable;
  repository: 'github://Metacello/metacello:configuration';
  load.

"Now load latest version of Metacello"
(Smalltalk at: #Metacello) new
  baseline: 'Metacello';
  repository: 'github://Metacello/metacello:master/repository';
  get.
(Smalltalk at: #Metacello) new
  baseline: 'Metacello';
  repository: 'github://Metacello/metacello:master/repository';
  load.

But it errors with:
Could not resolve: ConfigurationOfMetacelloPreview [ConfigurationOfMetacelloPreview] in c:\smalltalk\squeak\package-cache github://Metacello/metacello:configuration ERROR: 'GoferRepositoryError: can''t find EOCD position.

What do I need to do? Ultimately I want to get Seaside but, apparently I need this first.

Thank you.

Holly.

in this ticket: https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/issues/496

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank you that helped.

For total noobs following behind me this is what worked for me:

1. Go to trunk: http://source.squeak.org/trunk/
2. Download WebClient-Core-pre.117.mcz.
3. drag it onto a running squeak 5.1 VM.
4. Choose "merge version" in the context menu that pops up.
5. Accept all the changes and click merge.
6. Re-run the install command for Metacello in a new workspace.

Holly
