Thanks. Saw that. I downloaded and saw that all was as per my understanding. Despite that I'd prefer to load into my environment because it forces me to understand the dependencies.

No, Seaside does not depend on Magritte, neither does Magritte depend
on Seaside. The package Magritte-Seaside just integrates Magritte with
Seaside, and is likely the most common use of Magritte.
OK I understand now. And also a likely reason for the load failure. When loading the Magritte package the script didn't get Magritte-Seaside. Running Nick's script (below) got it and now it's functional on the Pharo 1.2.1 image. (Strangely not on the 1.1.1 image.)

Gofer new
renggli: 'magritte2';
package: 'ConfigurationOfMagritte2';
load.
(ConfigurationOfMagritte2 project latestVersion) load: #('Magritte-Seaside' 'Magritte-Tests-Model').

I don't know why the scripts you used don't work, Dale might know more?
Running Nick's script sorted the problem on 1.2.1 but not on 1.1.1. That's good enough for me as I've added to my (meager) understanding and reinorces your explanation. If anyone considers this worth looking into I can provide more details. I might say that I ,possibly reasonably, expected Magritte-Seaside to be loaded with Magritte. Although you probably have good reasons for seperating the installation.
You can use the latest build from my server, this is all the latest
code loaded into Pharo 1.2:
http://jenkins.lukas-renggli.ch/job/Magritte%202/ (Seaside + Magritte)
http://jenkins.lukas-renggli.ch/job/Pier%202/ (Seaside + Magritte + Pier)
Many thanks to you and to Nick for taking time to respond. I'll study the code and experiment with the tests before trying anything else.
