Installing Seaside on Squeak
Locked
 
|
Hi All,
I want to install Seaside on Squeak (on windows for now). The instructions for installing Seaside say to install Metacello first. The instructions for Metacello say to run this snippet: Installer gemsource project: 'metacello'; addPackage: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello'; install. But when I run the above snippet it fails with: UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #binary I don't know how to copy more of the stack or I would include it here. I did use the feature to send a bug report but I'm hoping someone can tell me how to get around this while the bug report is being looked at. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I could have sworn I saw a post about this just recently, but I can't seem
to find the link right now. I think it was something to do with the installation not working in our latest trunk image, but that going back to the 5.1 release was ok. Can someone provide a better answer? Thanks, Dave > Hi All, > > I want to install Seaside on Squeak (on windows for now). The > instructions for installing > Seaside say to install Metacello first.

Please see whether this goes away if you download this file http://seaside.gemtalksystems.com/ss/metacello/ConfigurationOfMetacello-topa.802.mcz directly into the package-cache and maybe even load it from there. Hope this helps Best regards -Tobias PS: Yes, this actually should work. If it doesn't y'all allowed to hit me :D [1]: Side note: It works like this: 1. Download .mcz into squeak image 2. Open (deserialize) .mcz into Monticello data 3.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the help. Tobias got me on the right track when he said: "It seems things crashed when Squeak tried to _save_ the zip it just loaded[1]." For some reason windows (and I guess the Squeak 5.1 install) had the c:\Program Files (x86)\Squeak\... folders marked as read only and had some other security flags set that may have denied saving other files in that folder tree. I changed all that manually and the Seaside install seemed to proceed okay after that. I will play with it in a day or two. Many thanks to all.

Hi Lou

Can you get us the permissions you had on the directory, especially the package cache?

Hi Tobias,

Did it tell you why? I will have to look into it. >On 09.01.2017, at 22:58, Louis LaBrunda <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> Hi Guys, >> >> Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure what that means exactly. There were also user level privileges that excluded writing to the folders. Sorry, I don't have a good list for you. Even if I did, I doubt you would be able to change them during an install. So, I don't think it will help to pursue that avenue as a fix. I'm not sure when it happened but it seems windows no longer lets programs write to the folder they are installed in. I develop VA Smalltalk programs for windows and have to change where settings (and even where the image) lives. We have a system where the user can replace just the image as a program update. In this way they can get an update and "install" it themselves without having "install" privileges. We install things in the Users\...\AppData\... folder tree. This is a giant pain in the ass but you may have to look into it.

Hi Tobias,
>Can you get us the permissions you had on the directory, especially the package cache? >We should investigate this silent fail (well, not so silent eventually ) Some programs are able to somehow get windows to ask the user if it is okay to save files in certain folders. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. For that and other reasons I went a different way but maybe you can figure out how to do this and solve the problem without having to change the folder structure.
