I got it compiled, but it seems its a text based environment with ascii textual prompts (no windows or anything). I compiles the X version of it, and it just sits and does nothing. Perhaps you could be a little more explicit about what you were doing and how you built your system. Is there a deamon or server supposed to be running before I run the X version of GNU SmallTalk ? You need to have an X server running. It has a file called: socket.c so I thought thats why its just hanging, and waiting to do something. I don't understand what you mean by this. The normal version (1.1) of GNU SMallTalk seems to just crash every so often when I type bad stuff at the prompt. Please report all GNU Smalltalk bugs to bug-gnu-smalltalk@prep.ai.mit.edu. Ideally, include a typescript of everything that you typed to cause the problem...this will help me to track it down. The gnu.smalltalk.bug newsgroup is gatewayed from bug-gnu-smalltalk. You may wish to consider adding this newsgroup to the set that you read so that you can find out about solutions to bugs that people find with GNU Smalltalk. Please post replies, and send a CC directly to me. Thanks ahead of time. Intel's mailer failed to deliver mail to "aidun@cadev6.intel.com" and "raidun@intel.com". People will have trouble CC'ing you.
