Okay, this must  be a problem with my system. I  seem to recall having
used Blox sucessfully with an earlier  gst version: that is why I sent
you this report.

Anyway,

Yes. I tried:

unset SMALLTALK_KERNEL
unset SMALLTALK_IMAGE
./configure --prefix=/opt/smalltalk-test --with-gnu-ld --enable-modules=yes
...
make
...
make install
...

But if  I build an  image without --enable-modules, I  can sucessfully
install it, and then manually fileInPackages: if I need.
