Need help opening image

I have an image (from Pharo3.0) which reports version 6505. I have tried four OSX vms but none of them will open it. Either I get “This interpreter (vers. X) cannot read image file (vers. 6505)” or I get hit with a long stream of:

[NSPathStore2 stringByAppendingPathExtension:]: cannot append extension 'bundle/Contents/MacOS/' to …

which I know is a known bug. The problem is, I can’t find a VM that doesn’t have this bug but can open my old image format (on OSX). Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Some old VMs are archived here:

http://files.pharo.org/vm/old/stack/mac/

Also the squeak VM's should open images that old some of which are here:

http://www.squeakvm.org/mac/

and SqueakJS may be able to run it here:

https://squeak.js.org

Hi,

You need a VM with the SqueakV3 memory manager and compiled in the past few months for Mac OS X Sierra support.

All recent Pharo VM are compiled with the Spur memory manager leading to this error “This interpreter (vers. X) cannot read image file (vers. 6505)”.

I would try the latest VM from this repository (latest.zip):

http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo/mac/

If you get the second error ( [NSPathStore2 stringByAppendingPathExtension:]: cannot append extension 'bundle/Contents/MacOS/' to … ), it means the VM is too old and does not support Mac OS X Sierra.

In this case, try instead the VM named:

cog_macos32x86_squeak.cog.v3_201703051406.tar.gz
present at:

https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/201703051406#files

It should work but it is not a Pharo VM hence some features may be disabled (specific VM plugins, etc.). Depending on your use-case it may be enough or not.

Best,

Thanks guys! The second image (cog_macos32x86_squeak.cog…) seems to be working great. The “latest.zip” image gives the NSPathStore2 errors.

for Pharo3 (for any image up to 4.0), you need to download this VM:

http://files.pharo.org/get-files/40/pharo-mac-stable.zip

so you will have a pharovm (with our plugin configuration, etc.)

cheers,

Esteban
