Hi,
Further to my previous post, I’ve established that the
VM as delivered with this release (…\VisualWorks
7.5.0\bin\macx\visual.app\Contents\MacOS\ visual – 4,115
KB (as displayed by explorer))
running with the
shipped virgin image, does not run. It starts briefly, then
terminates without any particular feedback as to what the problem is.
I have conducted exactly the same test with the 7.4d
version, and this starts the development environment as expected.
To conduct these tests I navigate via terminal to the
.\Resources directory and run the open –a command, with a fully qualified
name for the visual.app directory (7.4, and 7.5), to
ensure that I’m running the correct version of the VM.
The specifics of the machine are:
Hardware
Overview:
Machine Model: PowerBook G4 15"
CPU Type: PowerPC G4
(1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 768
MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.7.1f1
Software
Overview:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98)
Kernel Version: Darwin
7.9.0
Either
I’m doing something really stupid, or there is a problem.
Have
others attempted running the VW 7.5 Mac OS X VM?
If
so, any ideas as to why it won’t run on this machine, and how can I see
why it’s failing to get off the ground.
Cheers,
Stewart
