Offray,
Thanks for your help. I tried the instructions on your website but it still didn't work. I got a lot of errors during the configure that it couldn't find a great number of header files I have a Centrino Duo processor on my laptop and I am running Ubuntu 7.10 I finally did get it to work by installing the Squeak-3.9-8.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz tarball from squeak.org I had tried this earlier and it had installed successfully but the sound didn't work. It was extremely frustrating because I was showing our activities to some education groups yesterday and I could show off our cool audio features. Perhaps the sound didn't work because I did not have the build-essentials package, the alsaplayer-common or alsaplayer-alsa packages installed. Maybe this should have been obvious to me but I am less than a Linux guru. OLE Nepal is creating activities for the entire math and English curriculum for grades 2 and 6. We're trying to make the activities cool enough that kids learn stuff but familiar to the teachers so that they aren't intimidated. We have 2 teachers that guide our activity development and they are quite awesome.
