I���ve not noticed that problem on ubuntu or AWS lambda so there must be something different going on.

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
