I changed the perms on gst.im to u+x. Didn't help obviously. What
should th eperms be for an image file?

Aha, gotcha.  This should be documented (or fixed...).

You cannot do gst-load on the system image because it's not writeable by
you.  You need to create one with:

    gst -i

or for example

    gst -I ~/test/gst.im -i

and then

    gst-load Whatever

For this reason, "gst-browser" actually loads the browser but does not
save the image---the saving occurs from the File/Save menu item, which
will pop up a dialog if the image is not writeable.

After you have an image, you can start it with -I or you can make it
executable and just execute it.

ObjectMemory snapshot (or, the browser will just prompt you)

How did you build gst in the end?  Can you do

$ which gst
$ ls `which gst`-*

Ah, so you're back using MacPorts, not compiling from source---yet stdin
now works for you?

3.1 didn't have VisualGST.  You can start the old "blox" browser with
gst-blox.

Yes "stdin" works now! After I upgraded the "build" tools, I
re-installed GST from MacPorts. I thought that I had fixed *all* the
problems in so doing. Not! That's why I have yet to compile GST from
source.

Didn't help. Same symptoms as I reported yesterday.

So now I'm trying to compile from source. Seems to get hung up here:

mkdir /Users/dnormandin/tmp/gstar-L91w64
mkdir /Users/dnormandin/tmp/gstar-L91w64/BLOXBrowser
ln -s -f

ln -s -f /Users/dnormandin/smalltalk/packages/blox/browser/PList.st
/Users/dnormandin/tmp/gstar-L91w64/BLOXBrowser/PList.st

Is the build process at this point, very time-consuming? Or am I
observing another hung build process?

No, not exactly (I bet).
