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
