In a fresh sq3.10-7159dev08.02.1 when attempting to load VMMaker 3.8b6.1 via Universes (Enhanced), a dialog comes up saying 'Some important packages with be installed. All OmniBrowser based tools will be closed. Are you ready?
I don't get that message. It starts loading straight away, but fails when loading FFI. How fresh is your image?
Fresh as can be, right out of the zip. Still 65.2 MB even. Ken
Had you opened any browsers prior to installing?
Nope, only what I had to do to start that load going.
Ken
All I did was start the fresh image, open Universes (enhanced), and do the install
Interestingly, VMMaker 3.8b6.1 installs ok into a fresh sq3.10-7159web08.02.1.image (n.b. that's web not dev in the image name)
If you click Yes, it goes wild installing a bunch of Omni Browser stuff seemingly unrelated to VMMaker, then finally hangs. Universes (basic) appears to start out installing FFI and other stuff correctly but runs into the doesNotUnderstand: #at:ifAbsent: problem, refer to http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6952. If the fix there is loaded first, Universes (basic) gets farther until it stops at a problem in LipsMorph>>initialize while loading Speech 0.9.

Duh. I hadn't loaded the FFI loading fix; that was why I wasn't getting the error. With that loaded I see the same problem. Sorry for the confusion
