Hi Juan,

I am using a 64-bit VM running on a 64-bit Linux system to
run the 32-bit V3 Cuis image:

$ squeak -version
4.19.7-3801 #1 XShm Tue Jul  6 20:05:04 EDT 2021 /usr/bin/cc
Linux lewis-Gazelle-Pro 4.15.0-142-generic #146~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 13 09:27:15 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
plugin path: /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.19.7-3801 [default: /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.19.7-3801/]

$ file /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.19.7-3801/squeakvm
/usr/local/lib/squeak/4.19.7-3801/squeakvm: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=9d590bcb56df5bb2615d94a060913ceb80d164bf, not stripped

I put a copy of my VM here in case it helps:

However, if your Atom notebook is running 32-bit Linux on the thumb
drive, then my VM is not going to work.

Probably the easiest thing to do is just compile it yourself on your
Atom laptop.  If it has development tools loaded, then here are the
instructions for compiling your own interpreter VM:

  https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6354

You would need to install CMake and Subversion, but otherwise it is
just the usual Linux development tools. Copy your plugin source from
Cuis VMMaker into src/plugins/VectorEnginePlugin/VectorEnginePlugin.c
and follow the rest of the instructions.
