Ciao Ben,

hi Dario,

Reading back through the thread, it seems it works when you start
Pharo one way, but not another way.
Can you report the VM versions for each way..
World menu > System > System Reporter > VM GeneralImage

In the first case ( from Pharo on desktop ):

Is one of those ways you start Pharo is using Pharo Launcher?

No, i use Pharo Launcher only for Pharo 4.0.

Not for Pharo 5.0

Thanks,

Dario

In the settings you can point it to a new VM you download.

cheers -ben

Yes, try this, I think you might be using the wrong VM.

If you go to the applications there is a folder called Utilities and inside it there is a terminal application open it and issue the following commands

mkdir pharo
cd pharo
curl get.pharo.org | bash
./pharo-ui Pharo.image

First command will make folder, second will enter the folder, third will dowload the standard stable version of pharo to the folder, foruth will launch pharo.

Then when pharo opens follow the instruction Esteban gave you to test that Athens works as it should. Do not install anything before testings. Then if everything works proceed and install one thing, only, then test it, then install the next one etc.

Moving step by step will help us pin point your problem

I suspect maybe something went crazy , it happens from time to time in pharo, recently I had a nasty corruption with Pharo 6. If it happens once, its ok , if it happens frequently its a problem.

Ciao,

Pharo is unable to access a library it needs; this is the native boost plugin which is normally bundled with it (and the cairo lib?)...

Guys, anybody with a mac around there?

Thierry



    thanks Dimitris.

Nativeboost has been removed and been replaced by UFFI, all libraries that used Nativeboost are now using UFFI including the Cairo backend library for Athens.

    OK,             but what i need to do for load UFFI Cairo library

    and for load  the UFFI  library  required by    GitFileTree Pharo support?


    I wrong to install Pharo 5.0 on my MacBookPro with OS X  10.7.5. ?

    If right remember i install Pharo 5.0 from       http://pharo.org/download   link


    Thanks.

    Dario
