hi,
i have had consistant problems getting squeak to run from after decompacting.
i have a suspicion that it might have to do with stuffit expander, can't be sure about that.
however, if you have a high speed connection and/or some patience, this workaround might get your squeak working right.
i had os x running, i had fixed my squeak and was running it from a carbon vm. since then my os x crashed my powerbook firewire *hard*. now, when i open os x it doesn't show any of its own app icons or folders properly, they are all blank (if anyone knows how to fix this get back to me at jeaton @ trentu.ca or on this list)... it happens despite any number of reformats and reinstalls.
anyway, i reformatted and am back to os 9.0.4 but this might work for you:
go to the platform independent section of your favorite squeak ftp site, and get the package that has the changes and image, and get the one that has the sources... go to www.versiontracker.com or some similar site and get macgzip and zipit. uncompact the files you download with those programs, and then change the file types and creators with res edit or its mac os x equivalent.
creator for all of these must be: FAST file type for the image is: STim file type for the sources and changes is: STch
another thing is to give the vm more memory than it asks for... mine was set too low initially.
at worst you might waste a half an hour or so, at best you'll get a stable squeak. it worked for me.

I had no problem getting Squeak running. I just couldn't build any of the Stable Squeak projects.

BTW, to get it working on OsX, all I did was select the Stable Squeak image I wanted to run in the finder, select "Get information" (or Command-I from the menu), select "Specific Application," and then select the Stable Squeak VM. This all worked without a hitch. Squeak comes up, Morphic runs fine. Browser works as usual, so far as I can tell. I can filein various of the Stable Squeak projects from the file browser, but the project browser wasn't working, nor was the "command-line" version.
