This I just fixed. I'm now checking for comint.el and not
installing
gst-mode.el unless it is present.
You will find it in a short while in the CVS version of GNU
Smalltalk.

And, I must say, it seems weird that you have to install X11
in order to
get something as important as comint. So this is something
you should
complain about with your distro makers.

In fact it should be just what you need. Except that
there's a
cut-n-paste bug and --disable-emacs would work instead. :-(

No problem.

I see them in $prefix/info. I don't know if your distro
still has the
symlink from there to $prefix/share/info. If not, you may
want to use
--infodir=/usr/share/info to have the pages installed in the
right place.

Don't worry -- packaging bugreports are even more useful
than crashes to
some extent, because packaging hiccups are what will
convince users to
move away and do not use GNU Smalltalk at all.
