Question

I cannot manage to install Squeak and Pharo Smalltalk on Mac OS X 10.9.

as general a smalltalk system is composed of three elements; a VM, an image(if any changes to image then a changes file), and a sources file.

on squeak page I have downloaded all in one linked file, but it does to include an .image or .sources. it includes a .app. on the page this is mentioned to be the VM on mac, and it is mentioned to include all files one require. anyway double clicking does not launch smalltalk.

on pharo page similar promise but does not launch again. it says download that file it includes everything necessary and just run the executable. but it includes .image .changes and .sources files in sub directory of /Pharo2.0.app/Contents/Resources.

Am I doing something wrong?

UPDATE: for squeak I have also found the .image .change and .sources files in some sub directory of the all-in-one. Should i, both for pharo and squeak, move these files to the same directory with the .app file. UPDATE: i have tried so. no change.

UPDATE: because it is not signed upon first launch i modify settings to launch it authorizing as admin user one time. no problem with that.

Was it helpful?

Solution 3

The problem emerged from the fact that the application I had downloaded from Squeak or Pharo websites were not executable in my computer.

Issuing a change mod add executable command from terminal solves the problem for each one.

chmod +x /path/to/smalltalk/squeak/or/pharo/apps

OTHER TIPS

The first time you run the Squeak all-in-one, you need to right-click the app and choose "open". Then you will get a dialog that let's you run it. If you just double-click you get the same warning dialog, but without the option to run it.

This is because the Squeak app is not signed with an Apple developer key.

You also can to change the run permission in System Preferences (Security Preferences), from "Map App Store" to "Anywhere".
