Can someone briefly explain how MIDIPlugin is supposed to work?
In the code for SimpleMIDIPort I see the following method.
> primMIDIOpenPort: portNum readSemaIndex: readSemaIndex
> interfaceClockRate: interfaceClockRate "Open the given MIDI port. If

'MIDIPlugin'> self" is call to something external to the current squeak
image.
When I try to execute the primMIDIOpenPort method I get a
"primitivefailed" error message. Is this because my current image can't
find the external resource?
I'm running Ubuntu 7.04, and in the Squeak directory there is file
called "SqueakPlugin.image". I tried copying that to same directory
with my squeak image file, but it doesn't help. Am I supposed to
somehow load the plugin into my image before invoking the method?
Or do I have to compile my own VM with the MIDIPlugin source code to get
this working?

'MIDIPlugin'> self" is call to something external to the current squeak
image.
