[lively-kernel] Report: Installing Lively Core locally from GitHub - a few issues and a question

[Milan Zimmermann]

Hi:

I installed Lively core from Github. Basically I have it working but
not in a useful way - right mouse click on the world shows the menu,
but clicking any item , I get an error or nothing happens.

e.g. PartsBIn
Error in handleEvent when calling
<lively.morphic.Text#2C915...>>>onMouseUpEntry: TypeError: Cannot call
method 'openInWorld' of undefined

I was hoping the referred

https://github.com/rksm/LivelyKernel/wiki/How-to-make-PartsBin-work

will give me some hints but it does not seem to exist yet.

Is there anything I can do about the errors?

Thanks!
