Pharo core is a 32bit image, unless someone kindly converted it to a 64bit image last night? Hint I"m not going to do this. Therefore you must use the 64*32.app. As a reminder The VM binary runs either in 32 bit or 64 bit mode. The VM then reads and interprets a squeak.image, the squeak image can be either 32bit or 64bit. This leads to 4 different combinations plus the fact that PowerPC 32, and Intel is 32/64 or just 32. Unfortunately building a VM that deals both with a 32bit and a 64bit at the same time is difficult. Therefore we have two flavours a VM that reads a 32bit image, and a VM that reads a 64bit image. The 64*32.app will run 32bit squeak images where a squeak word size is 32 bits. it runs as a PowerPC 32 bit, Intel 32bit, Intel 64bit. The 64*64.app will run 64bit squeak images where a squeak word size is 64bits it runs only as a Intel 64bit. It is possible that it could run on a 32bit powerpc, 32bit intel, but frankly I'm not going to check that out yet until we get to the point of having a workable 64bit Pharo image. Thus in the *near*? future I would like to have a VM that runs in 32 or 64 bit mode that works with 32bit images, and a VM that runs in 32 or 64 bit mode that works with 64bit images.

Hi!
I just tried Squeak.5.0.0.b9.64*64.app.zip, but I was not able to run a pharo core on it. I have a MacBookPro 10.5.8. I do not know whether this is helpful or not. Feel free to ask more info about my config.
