Ok, it was silly. Looking at the pharo.sh script made it clear. Sorry for the noise. Cheers, Stefano On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 5:13 PM, stefano franchi <stefano.franchi@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear all,
this may be a silly question, but I can't find the answer in the pharo book or on the list:
how do you start pharo on a specific image? in Visualworks, you'd do
$vw imagename
and from then on, the image and change file would be saved in imagename's directory.
But in pharo, it seems the imagename I give on the command line is ignored, and I always start with the default image (which, on my archlinux system, is located at /usr/share/pharo). Since that directory is not writable by default and it contains the change file, I get all sort of errors. Perhaps it is an installation issue?
Cheers,
Stefano
