Can't install Gobe 2 in VMWare Haiku

Old BeOS user who found Haiku here.

I have a copy of Gobe 2 and I tried to install it into Haiku which I have running in VMWare. It creates an empty folder for Gobe Productive but fails to install the software.

BTW nice to see BeOS continue on in Haiku. I still use BeOS more for fun than anything else. BeOS was the best OS I ever used. Looked great, ran fast and I did all the things I wanted and needed to do that I could do in Windows or a Mac operating system. Damn shame it went away.

Oh and it would be nice to see Haiku do just the basics, web browsing, word processing and emails. Anything beyond that is just icing on the cake for me.

Looking forward to Alpha 2.

Any ideas why Gobe won't install?

Thanks.

just a guess, it's probably trying to unpack the files from the package to the old temp location /boot/var/tmp which Haiku changed/removed. Try creating that dir or install the optional package 'beoscompatibility'.

Please confirm if this is the problem.
