loading VMMaker in Squeak 3.9

Hi--

     When I load VMMaker 3.8b6 in Squeak 3.9 via SqueakMap, I'm informed
that it depends on the FFI package. When I load the FFI package, it
halts after writing the following to the Transcript:

***

Download from original url
(http://map.squeak.org/accountbyid/cf58c358-46ee-465e-b6db-2740e9b32a53/files/InstallFFI.st)
failed with this exception: Incorrect SHA checksum of file from orginal URL
Trying server cache instead.
Download from server cache of FFI 1-3.9 failed with this exception:
Incorrect SHA checksum of file from server

***

     What now? (In the meantime, I'll try earlier Squeak releases until
something works, then give up.)


     thanks!

The current FFI on SqueakMap is InstallFFI3.st (note the 3). The full url is ...
http://map.squeak.org/accountbyid/cf58c358-46ee-465e-b6db-2740e9b32a53/files/InstallFFI3.st

The old InstallFFI.st is no longer on squeakMap.

Cheers,
Andy

Update your SqueakMap - it's trying to fetch an old installer
(InstallFFI.st) which got injured when I tried to replace the installer
on SM in situ (I was trying to overwrite the old with the new version
but SM doesn't update the checksum for it, so the install *always*
fails). The updated version should fetch InstallFFI3.st instead.

Cheers,
