To know where the logs are see:

http://developer.sugarlabs.org/dev-environment.md.html#dotsugar

Probably Develop & etoys problems are different.

If Develop log show simplejson import error, see this thread:
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2014-February/047271.html

the error is already solved in git (git.sugarlabs.org/develop)
and a new release is planed soon, probably, next week.

About etoys, can you tell us what version are you using?
etoys need squeak vm. maybe is not available in your system or
the version don't match?
