I have been trying to install Squeak on Ubuntu 7.10 w/out success
I was able to install it w/ Debian packages but the sound didn't work. At the advice of my colleague Luke Gorrie I tried installing it from the VM-Source tarball http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/unix-linux/Squeak-3.9-8.src.tar.gz I used the documentation in /unix/doc/HowToBuildFromSource.pdf I ran the configure script and got an error that it couldn't find npsqueak libraries. I then tried ../config/configure --without-npsqueak it configured but this showed up in the config.log configure:26825: result: ******** disabling vm-display-X11 I then did make and make install Predictably, I get this error when I try to open a squeak image $ squeak olenepal-demo.4.image could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either: - check that /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.9-8/vm-display-X11.so exists, or - use the '-plugins <path>' option to tell me where it is, or - remove DISPLAY from your environment. Aborted (core dumped) Please assist :) What's the best place to look for documentation on Squeak installation? I found some in the Squeak wiki, OLPC wiki, and a few other places but no single comprehensive resource. I will try to add notes on how to successfully install Squeak on Ubuntu 7.10 onto the OLPC Wiki once I can successfully install it myself : Help! Part of my job is to teach people how to use Squeak so our development team (the real programmers) can focus full-time on developing learning activities w/ Squeak. I need to get up to speed on Squeak quickly. Thanks -- Bryan W.

It's a guess but I think you can have --without-npsqueak and *at the same time* graphical display. See that you get "configure:26825: result: ******** disabling vm-display-X11" as a result of your compilation and also a complain about the inhability to find the "vm-display-X11" driver. We have the installation procedure documented (in Spanish) here: http://www.el-directorio.org/Squeak/Instalacion#head-1575ffc64426e6e4adec2c3d873b422ef2f43c62 Notice the root permissions to run the install script, for better results. My test machine for building that doc was pretty similar to yours (with an older Ubuntu, but this is not a big deal) Cheers, Offray [...] > > Help!

Sorry for the typo. It happens to me from time to time with these English contractions.

I say download the latest VM from the website, untar it, and run sudo ./INSTALL http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/unix-linux/Squeak-3.9-8.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz This will put squeak in /usr/local. Then get the latest two sources files, unzip them, and put them in /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.9-8 : http://ftp.squeak.org/sources_files/SqueakV39.sources.gz http://ftp.squeak.org/sources_files/SqueakV3.sources.gz now you should be able to run squeak ImageName (Not to discourage you from building from source; others do it all the time, but I can never get it right, so I don't) -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/ Help improve Squeak Documentation: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/808 _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

Offray,
Thanks for your help. I tried the instructions on your website but it still didn't work. I got a lot of errors during the configure that it couldn't find a great number of header files I have a Centrino Duo processor on my laptop and I am running Ubuntu 7.10 I finally did get it to work by installing the Squeak-3.9-8.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz tarball from squeak.org I had tried this earlier and it had installed successfully but the sound didn't work. It was extremely frustrating because I was showing our activities to some education groups yesterday and I could show off our cool audio features. Perhaps the sound didn't work because I did not have the build-essentials package, the alsaplayer-common or alsaplayer-alsa packages installed. Maybe this should have been obvious to me but I am less than a Linux guru. OLE Nepal is creating activities for the entire math and English curriculum for grades 2 and 6. We're trying to make the activities cool enough that kids learn stuff but familiar to the teachers so that they aren't intimidated. We have 2 teachers that guide our activity development and they are quite awesome. Check out our current activities here: http://nepal.ole.org/home/?q=node/73 On Mon, 2007-11-12 at 07:48 -0500, Offray Vladimir Luna Cardenas wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi Bryan, > > > > Bryan Berry wrote: > > I have been trying to install Squeak on Ubuntu 7.10 w/out success > > > > I was able to install it w/ Debian packages but the sound didn't work. > > At the advice of my colleague Luke Gorrie I tried installing it from the > > VM-Source tarball > > http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/unix-linux/Squeak-3.9-8.src.tar.gz > > > > I used the documentation in /unix/doc/HowToBuildFromSource.pdf > > > > I ran the configure script and got an error that it couldn't find > > npsqueak libraries. > > > > I then tried ../config/configure --without-npsqueak > > > > it configured but this showed up in the config.log > > > > configure:26825: result: ******** disabling vm-display-X11 > > > > I then did make and make install > > > > Predictably, I get this error when I try to open a squeak image > > > > $ squeak olenepal-demo.4.image > > could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either: > > - check that /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.9-8/vm-display-X11.so exists, or > > - use the '-plugins <path>' option to tell me where it is, or > > - remove DISPLAY from your environment. > > Aborted (core dumped) > > > > Please assist :) > > > > When I have had this problem in the past, I solved copying npbsqueak.so > from other places to the proper location...

ALSA is the sound drivers and associated support files. You won't get
sound to work without them. Have patience, sometimes getting sound working in Linux is an exercise in being persistent and methodical. John > Offray, > > > Thanks for your help.
