Hi Joachim,

Thanks for the answer.

I did not have Java 1.6 anymore on my Yosemite, but I installed it now. For reference, here is how to get it:

https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US

I still have problems in Pharo5.

I am trying the following script:

I tried in Pharo 3, and the script worked fine.

I also tried with Pharo4 and Pharo5, but it does not work because I get a MNU for GhostClassBuilder>>#client:.

I fixed it in a Pharo5 image by using #installer: instead, but the computation of "JVM newWithSettings: jvmSettings" does not seem to finish and it blocks the VM.

Any idea of what goes wrong?

Cheers,

Tudor

Hi Doru,

JLI is the Java Legacy Interface, not the VM.

AFAICT, the JVM library should be at
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib

Java 8 for OS X is a 64 bit version, it won't work with a 32 bit Pharo. When
I released the latest version of JNIPort, there was no 64 bit NativeBoost,
and as as JNIPort for Pharo is based on NativeBoost, I guess that it won't
work with Java 8. However, if you have Apple's original Java 6 installed,
you can still use that. An alternative JVM might be JamVM, but I can't check
right now if there is a 32 bit version as SourceForge is currently offline.

HTH
Joachim
