[Help-smalltalk] Still problems to trying install grease

[Travis Griggs]

Thought I'd take a fresh run at this.

1) Got a fresh kubuntu install (not just for this, but I wanted to try the new 
KDE out)
2) Installed a number of packages as prescribed by 
http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/zuluuuuuu/installing-gnu-smalltalk-ubuntu-10-10. 
I had to add install gawk as well for the next step to work.
3) Downloaded GST 3.2.4 and did the configure/make/make install (sudo on the 
last step of course)
4) Played around with VisualGST to verify things were working to some degree
5) Did gst-package --download grease -t ~/.st

Got a stack trace that looked like the following at the top:

address@hidden:~/smalltalk-3.2.4$ gst-package --download grease -t ~/.st

Any help hugely appreciated. Do I *need* grease to do the Iliad thing?
