[Glass] SmalltalkCI gemstone on mac os sierra

[Johan Brichau via Glass]

Hi Dale,

The rule of thumb is correct. I had to put a line in the /etc/hosts like this:
	127.0.0.1       Johans-MacBook-Pro.local

However, it then failed with the error messages quoted below. After creating the /opt/gemstone/locks directory myself, it worked like a charm!

thx
Johan

I'm pretty sure that the mac os has funky behavior when setting the hostname, i.e., when you "name" your host during the standard mac os installation/upgrade/startup process, the hostname is hot necessarily propogated to the underlying operating system... I don't recall all of the details, but it has to do with the fact that your hostname is not in the file /etc/hosts and that causes a problem for GemStone. Furthermore, it is not sufficient (on the mac only?) to simply edit /etc/hosts. I think it is necessary to use `sudo hostname` to properly set the hostname - but this advice may be different for Sierra(?).
