CPU utilisation
by Phil Dec. 23, 2010

Dec. 23, 2010

I'm new here so I'm sorry if this is something already covered. I spent a bit of time browsing the archive but didn't see anything obvious. When Pharo is under load it doesn't appear to making use of all processor cores. I'm using Pharo-1.1.1-- Latest update: #11414 with VM 4.2.1b1 under Mac OS X with a Core 2 Duo. Attached is an image of the CPU history: The thing to notice is that it only appears to be using a single core at any one time. Is this a known issue? Cheers, Phil

Nested classes
by Charles Monteiro Dec. 22, 2010

Dec. 22, 2010

Hi, perhaps a bit off topic, but I was wondering from those that brought Traits to ST, what are their thoughts of the use of nested classes such as used in Ruby and other languages. Good idea? If so should Smalltalk integrate these? Why? Why not ? thanks in advance -Charles www.nycsmalltalk.org -- -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Nested-classes-tp3125667p3125667.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi - I'm trying to learn how to use the RBParseTreeSearcher. I'd like to find all the occurrances of the string 'tabs' in a package I've written. Is there something I can read to learn how to do that? Thanks Paul

On 64bit systems you just need to load the 32bit libs by installing the package 'ia32-libs'. On Debian and Ubuntu you can just apt-get install ia32-libs then the one-click app will work just fine. I imagine its the same package name on other distros but I don't know for sure.

Incorrect cursor behavior in right-to-left scripts
by Alex Albitov Dec. 20, 2010

Dec. 20, 2010

Hi all, I noted incorrect cursor behavior in right-to-left script. When right-to-left script (Hebrew for example) is used the cursor should not advance to next character, but stay in its position and let the characters advance as the text is being inserted. Does anybody knows how to change the cursor's behavior? Thank you, Alex Albitov

Pharo on Linux 64bit system
by Alan Rodas Dec. 20, 2010

Dec. 20, 2010

Hello, I recently updated my system to a 64bit one I had trouble running Pharo. I made the one click image run by adding manually the missing libraries to /usr/lib32 but its quite annoing to do that. So I would like to ask Is there a 64 bit vm? Is there a linux package that contains all necessary lib files to run Pharo in a 64 bit linux? I made a zip file with all this libraries so if there's nothing better let me know and I will upload it. Cheers -- Alan Rodas Bonjour

Unicode in Pharo1.1
by qpogo Dec. 19, 2010

Dec. 19, 2010

Hi all, I'm a real newbie in Pharo and Smalltalk. I want to type in Cyrillic and Hebrew. However I get question marks. I tried to change fonts, but I have only to available fonts: * Accuny * Bitmap DejaVu Sans Which don't have Unicode glyphs. When I try to update fonts from the system, I don't see any result. Thank you. Alex -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Unicode-in-Pharo1-1-tp3092706p3092706.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Installing Morphic UI designer in Pharo 1.1
by Charles Monteiro Dec. 19, 2010

Dec. 19, 2010

Pardon the newbie question but I yet don't have a grip how Squeaker's load packages , it seems that there are many, many ways of doing so. In anycase, to my immediate need I would like to check out Morphic Designer. I've tried following the instructions on their web site which are: (Installer mc http: 'http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/squeaksource/') project: 'MetacelloRepository'; install: 'ConfigurationOfDesigner'. ConfigurationOfDesigner load. However, on the Pharo 1.1. image under Cog VM, there is no such animal as an "Installer", I tried using the Monticello Browser and went fishing for the package but to no avail. thanks in advance Charles www.nycsmalltalk.org -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Installing-Morphic-UI-designer-in-Pharo-1-1-tp3093047… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
