Actualy, that post is a receipie that you have to follow step by step EXACTLY what I do. That way you are 99% probably you will be able to build the VM.
If Santiago followed my blog, he did it wrong, but I didn't use Pharo 1.4.
Anyway, what you say is explained in the second part: http://marianopeck.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/building-the-vm-second-part/

BTW, I just added� a link to that from the first part.

Yes it does. Perfectly. But you have to follow all the instructions. The only way to have a reproducible build is to have explicit versions of everything. And that's what I did and that's why people can build a VM even 1 year later. All you need to do is to follow the steps. Once you are a VM hacker then you can experiment with the bleedingEdge.
