Mariano makes good points about being able to run the scripts without 
redoing work already done ...

Thanks for the additional details ... It looks like you are on the 
master branch and I am a bit mystified how you are getting this error. 
The `installServer` script first calls the installGemStone, then the 
createTodeImage[1] scripts. The createTodeImage script expects pharo to 
be installed during installGemStone. If the $GS_HOME/pharo/pharo-vm does 
not exist the installGemstone script calls installPharo[2].

The installPharo script then uses `wget` to get the pharo vm and the 
pharo images[3]:

   cd $GS_HOME/pharo
   wget -O- get.pharo.org/vmLatest | bash
   wget -O- get.pharo.org/30 | bash

All of the scripts use `set -e` and there are no `exit 0` calls without  
$GS_HOME/pharo/pharo-vm existing???

If you could run the above bash commands, and send me the results, 
perhaps we'll understand the mystery ...

OTOH, at this point in time, you should probably start useing 
GsDevKitHome on the dev branch by following these instructions[4] and do 
the "FOR EARLY ADOPTERS STEPS" ... the installPharo is a bit different 
and more importantly, the things you do and learn on the dev branch of 
GsDevKitHome will be closer to what will be present in GsDevKit_home 
when it is ready...
