Another thing I just remembered -- the Squeak VM only looks in a few specific locations when searching for dylibs, and it doesn't seem to pay attention to absolute paths. On my system, I chose to create a "Plugins" folder in the same folder where I keep Squeak VMs, and then I created symlinks for the dylibs. John, any chance we could get support for absolute paths in an upcoming VM? Ken On Mar 13, 2010, at 10:51 AM, Richard Durr wrote:
Ah okay, that's correct! I'll try that, thank you! :)

Are you on Snow Leopard? If so, I'm guessing your Cairo library is built for 64-bit, and you'll need a 32-bit library to work with the Squeak VM. The best option is to build Cairo with the +universal variant.

Thank you very much. But it did not work. I set the path using the command CRLibrary libraryPath: '/opt/local/lib/libcairo.dylib'
and have loaded Alien through ConfigurationOfAlien poject latestVersion load

Hi Richard,
You'll need to use the .dylib instead of the la file (e.g. /opt/local/lib/libcairo.dylib). Any recent version of Alien should work.
Also, the class names are a little different vs. VisualWorks. For the most part, they're all just prefixed with CR (e.g. CRImageSurface vs. ImageSurface).
Hope that helps,
Ken

Hello Ken,
I tried to install your Package of Cairo in the newest version of Pharo to try recreating what you did in [1] with VisualWorks but was unable to load the Library. I set libraryPath to ''/opt/local/lib/libcairo.la' using the Cairo-Package of MacPorts, I get a primitive has failed error in primLoadLibrary.
Maybe I am not using the right version of Alien. Which one did you use? Any help would be appreciated :)
