Polymorph found in universes not installing on pristine squeak 4.1

100% reproducible which means I'm either doing something fundamentally
wrong, or I'm missing something. I *thought* that PolyMorph would
install on Squeak...

Step 1) download pristine copy of Squeak 4.1 for Mac OS X from squeak.org.
Step 2) open Universe browser.
Step 3) refresh the available packages.
Step 4) select the latest ToolBuilder.
Step 5) install.

I get the moral equivalent of a kernel panic:

***System error handling failed***

Original error: Error: cannot install color.
Debugger error: MessageNotUnderstood: PluggableSystemWindow>>createBox
Debugger class(Object)>>primitiveError.
etc

Well, needs to be removed then. Was only loadable from Universe for Squeak
3.9...

Re: Polymorph found in universes not installing on pristinesqueak 4.1

Tried the manual install instructions found at:
http://wiki.squeak.org:8080/squeak/6005

and I'm getting almost the same error. I closed all windows, opened the
Monticello browser and followed the instructions and this appeared:

***System error handling failed***
Original error: MessageNotUnderstood: PluggableButtonMorphPlus>>gradientLook
Debugger error: MessageNotUnderstood: PluggableSystemWindow>>createBox
etc

The only difference is the original error using the Universe installer
is: Original error: Error: cannot install color.

The idea behind Package Universe was that there would be a new one for
each major version of Squeak. 3.10 used the same one for 3.9. But
as 4.1 diverges from 3.9, we really need to make a new universe for
it.

The upshot is that I can't install PolyMorph at all on Squeak 4.1,
whether using the Universe Package browser or the Monticello browser.

Re: Polymorph found in universes not installing on pristinesqueak 4.1

Yep. I had it *sort* of working early in Trunk history, but Trunk moved faster than I could keep up, and I eventually gave up. With the it's core developers working in Pharo land, the bits had (last time I checked) accumulated enough Pharoisms that it wasn't clear to me how to keep it working in Trunk.

FWIW, I think there's a simpler solution to skinning Squeak than Polymorph; when I was trying to make it work, I noted that it seemed to involve a lot of overrides that were probably only necessary because it was hard to get code into Squeak when it was written. I also think it makes sense to attack that problem after we've integrated some of the simplifications that Juan put into place in Cuis. Of course, I could be wrong.

Polymorph is integrated and developed only for Pharo,and is not more compatible with squeak as is.

I'm not sure, but I think is about this.
