Hi all,
I'm evaluating PBE (1.0) because my nephew is starting to get interested in programming :-)
There is a VM issue though: the PBE website refers the pharo website to download the VM, and the only VM I can find is in the 1.3 download page. This VM however crashes with the PBE image (MacOS). It works with the latest squeakvm (non-cog) though. I think, as a minimal-effort patch, it would be good to have the PBE website refer to squeakvm.org and clearly indicate that to run the PBE image a non-cog VM should be used. Idem on the pharoproject website.
can you tell, what causing crash?
Sure: It immediately crashed on opening the image. :-(
The image used for the book is very old and does not have the cog related patches... The easiest would be to make a one-click with old vms for the book. Or we would need to find out (remember) exactly which patch is needed... Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

I guess there is something specific in the Pharo tracker, but there is also: http://squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/branches/Cog/image/NecessaryImageCha... Kind of related to that: does anyone have a Squeak 3.9 image running on top of Cog? As far as I understand, the main issue is that the image needs to use Closures instead of old style blocks. Is that correct?
