Socket>>accept
by Daniel Birkinshaw April 20, 2010

April 20, 2010

Hi, I'm trying to implement a simple server. What I want the code to do is as follows: * Create a socket and listen on a port * Wait for an incoming connection * When a connection is received, fork a process to deal with it and go back to waiting for connections. I believe the following code should accomplish this (I have omitted the loop and the fork because I want to get it working for a single connection before I start with multiple connections!): server := Socket new. server listenOn: 1234. client := server accept. However when I run this I get Socket(Object)>>primitiveFailed. Examining the stack trace reveals the source to be this method: Socket>>primAcceptFrom:receiveBufferSize:sendBufSize:semaIndex: <primitive: 'primitiveSocketAccept' module: 'SocketPlugin'> ^self primitiveFailed When I take a look in /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.11.3-2135 there are lots of plugins, but no SocketPlugin. Swazoo seems to work fine without it and all of the tests in the NetworkTests package pass.

Dynamic Languages Symposium 2010 October 18, 2010 Co-located with SPLASH (OOPSLA) 2010 In cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN John Ascuaga's Nugget, Reno/Tahoe, Nevada, USA http://www.dynamic-languages-symposium.org/dls-10/ ***** Call for papers ***** The 6th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at the conference formerly known as OOPSLA is a forum for discussion of dynamic languages, their implementation and application. While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, Self, Prolog, and APL continue to grow and inspire new converts, a new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, Tcl, and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications. DLS provides a place for researchers and practitioners to come together and share their knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and development. DLS 2010 invites high quality papers reporting original research, innovative contributions or experience related to dynamic languages, their implementation and application. Accepted Papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: * Innovative language features and implementation techniques * Development and platform support, tools * Interesting applications * Domain-oriented programming * Very late binding, dynamic composition, and runtime adaptation * Reflection and meta-programming * Software evolution * Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages * Dynamic optimization * Hardware support * Experience reports and case studies * Educational approaches and perspectives * Object-oriented, aspect-oriented, and context-oriented programming === Submissions and proceedings === We invite original contributions that neither have been published previously nor are under review by other refereed events or publications. Research papers should describe work that advances the current state of the art. Experience papers should be of broad interest and should describe insights gained from substantive practical applications. The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its relevance, significance, clarity, and originality. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Papers are to be submitted electronically at http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=dls2010 in PDF format. Submissions must not exceed 12 pages and need to use the ACM format, templates for which can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. === Important dates === Submission of papers: June 1, 2010 (hard deadline) Author notification: July 15, 2010 Final versions due: August 13, 2010 DLS 2010: October 18, 2010 SPLASH/OOPSLA 2010: October 17-21, 2010 === Program chair === William Clinger, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA === Program committee === Robby Findler (Northwestern University) Jeffrey S. Foster (University of Maryland) Lars Thomas Hansen (Adobe Systems) Charlotte Herzeel (University of Brussels) S. Alexander Spoon (Google) Eric Tanter (University of Chile) Jan Vitek (Purdue University) Alessandro Warth (Viewpoints Research Institute) [to be completed] -- Pascal Costanza, mailto:pc@p-cos.net, http://p-cos.net Vrije Universiteit Brussel Software Languages Lab Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium

removing packages
by Yoandy RodrÃguez MartÃnez April 18, 2010

April 18, 2010

Hello everyone: I downloaded a package called Asteroid and loaded it into my image. It was a .sar file so i used the install button in file manager and everything worked ok. Now i want to remove it from the image but i don't know how to do it. I've tried deleting the changesets and thought and unload option in monticello context menu: first thing didn't worked, second launched some kind of error console and I had to close the VM. Any hint on how to solve this? Thanks in advance
