I've downloaded the latest tarball and have been attempting to build Io using the instructions in the README file. make vm runs successfully and I have both io and io_static executables in /usr/local/bin. I attempted the second step (sudo make port), which initially failed with the following traceback:
_build/binaries/io build.io port
Exception: Object does not respond to 'directories'
---------

Coroutine resumeParentCoroutine A4_Exception.io 160

Directory directories Project.io 115
FileImporter import Z_Importer.io 47

Following some advice from the IRC channel, I tried make install (which worked), but now sudo make port gets as far as installing libsgml.dylib, then throws the following:
Exception: nil does not respond to 'addError'
---------
nil addError AddonBuilder.io 161

I've tried looking at the Io code, but I'm not making much sense of it (I'm building Io to learn it, so it's a wee bit tough having to learn the language to debug its installation!).
Any help would be gratefully received as it looks like a rather nice language for someone returning to programming after a 20 year gap!
Thanks
David
