I'm glad this came up, because I hit that one too and forgot about it. The other thing I have found is that more recent images are somewhat particular about the VM version - they will freeze if the (Windows is where I have seen it) vm is too old. Bill ---- Wilhelm K.

I think it is related to the initial FreeType startup process. Start with a 10236 image, click "abandon" and close the debug window, save the image, close it, and open it again. At least I don't get the error the next time.

I tried downloading the pharo-dev image 20231 from the downloads page, then I added SqueakV39.sources from a Squeak image. When I launched I got an error dialog saying: Error: a primative has failed. I was hoping to take a look around at the work you folks are doing. -- David Finlayson _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr<mailto:Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr> http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
