Squeak and Ubuntu

Sorry for posting this here but I¹m getting nowhere at the Squeak Newbie
mailing list...

I'm trying to install Squeak 3.9 VM on Ubuntu Linux 7.04 Feisty Fawn. I have
a fresh install of Ubuntu. I download

Squeak-3.9-8.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

...from Squeak.org and I try to install it. It keeps complaining:

No binaries/libraries found for i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1.

No one else on the mailing list seems to have ever encountered this error
message.

It was suggested that I try building the VM from sources but the gcc keeps
complaining that it can't create executables! I don't want to have to debug
my C dev environment.

This is ridiculous. Everything is fighting against me.

I've reinstalled Feisty Fawn again and again and again trying to isolate the
problem but no luck. I'm ready to put a 12-gauge to my mouth.

Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Richard

I'm not sure I remember it correctly, but I think there is a switch or something on the installation script that allows you to override the detected architecture. I think that's what I used to install it on x86_64 which didn't match the expected combination either.

HTH,

Martin

The script doesn't work on my AMD64 either. What I usually do is to
manually copy all the files to a decent location. The installer script
doesn't do any magic, as far as I know.

Finally, a reasonable answer! This works.

No one thought to document this somewhere obvious? Like in a README or on
the Ubuntu forum?

Thanks, Bert.

Richard

After unpacking the tarball, just rename i686-pc-linux-gnu to i686-pc-
linux-gnulibc1 before installing. Apparently Ubuntu uses a non-
canonical system designation, which confuses the installer.

Well, go ahead and document it in the obvious place ;)
