Hi Martin,

�� �crashing immediately on startup could be to do with the UUIDPlugin and libuuid. �Try removing coglinux/lib/squeak/3.9-7/UUIDPlugin and see if it makes a difference. �If it does I believe the fix is to ensure that there's a 32-bit libuuid.so.1 installed. �e.g.

[eliot@mcqfes bld]$ ldd coglinux/lib/squeak/3.9-7/UUIDPlugin�
�� � � �linux-gate.so.1 => �(0x00e2e000)
�� � � �libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x0067e000)
�� � � �libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x008d6000)
�� � � �/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0045a000)
[eliot@mcqfes bld]$ file /lib/libuuid.so.1
/lib/libuuid.so.1: symbolic link to `libuuid.so.1.2'
[eliot@mcqfes bld]$ file /lib/libuuid.so.1.2
/lib/libuuid.so.1.2: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped

Search the Squeak, vm-dev and Pharo archives for info on how to install a 32-bit version. �I think it was mentioned within the last month.

If your problem is nothing to do with libuuid then I need info like exact OS version, what directories you've installed things in and a gdb backtrace for the crash.

I'm probably doing something obviously wrong, but I have no luck with the Cog VM. It crashes immediately on startup even with the stock OneClick image. I downloaded the Pharo-1.1.1 OneClick images. Fetched the latest coglinux.tgz (r2340), untarred it into the pharo directory and just trying to run it from the top-level pharo directory as:

� � � �coglinux/squeak Contents/Resources/pharo.image

crashes immediately (with or without the -vm-display-X11 option). This is on latest Fedora 14. The old VM seems to have no problem when I try to run it the same way:

� � � �Contents/Linux/squeakvm Contents/Resources/pharo.image

seems to start just fine. I can copy the stack dump from the crash, but since most seem to be running fine, I suspect I'm just not doing it right. What am I missing ?

Thanks,

Martin
