Hi Bill,

I've reading about your trails with Monticello/Metacello and been surprised about all the difficulties you are having. I frequently load fairly complex configurations on top of Pharo 1.3 without a problem.�

You can flush Monticello caches with:

MCMethodDefinition cachedDefinitions removeAll.
MCFileBasedRepository allSubInstancesDo: [:ea | ea flushCache].

and try removing the 'package-cache' folder from the folder containing your image.

other than that,�as others have said if you can isolate the problem we stand a chance of helping you
