Hi, I just installed pharo 6.1 using the .zip file ( http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo6.1-64-linux.zip) and battled to start up pharo with arguments. The issue is that the pharo bash script (in the extracted home dir) quotes all arguments: # execute exec "$LINUX/pharo" \ --plugins "$LINUX" \ --encoding utf8 \ -vm-display-X11 \ "$image" where image = $* The impact is that if I want to run a startup script, eg. pharo my.image startup.st pharo complains with "Could not open the Pharo image file: 'my.image startup.st' So I must run the executable directly? If so, some questions about the options that the bash script passes in: --plugins "$LINUX" is this necessary? will the default not be enough? --encoding utf8 the usage output says for example --textenc default is "UTF-8". Is utf8 the same thing? -vm-display-X11 I tried starting without this, and it worked. Do I need to explicitly start with this? Thanks Otto
