I ran into this as well - but I think it was because the parent directory didn't exist. Once I created the parent directory it created the file. I then launched the server and saved the image. After relaunching the image (this time from the command line so I could get multiple executables going), the image's UI was frozen. This was two weeks ago - I haven't tried since.

Ahh.. Magma isn't doing it for me. The first step fails:
MagmaRepositoryController create: '/home/mikevdg/sq/myRepository.magma' root: Dictionary new.
I don't know how to cut&paste a stack dump, but it fails first with an error: "MessageNotUnderstood: binary", and the offending message send seems to be in "MaLargeCollectionOfIntegers>>create:" which looks like this:
create: fileNameString file _ (FileStream concreteStream new open: fileNameString forWrite: true) binary. self writeHeader
(FileStream concreteStream new) is a StandardFileStream, and the "binary" method seems to exist in that class.

I haven't tested Magma under Linux myself (but I think Chris has) but the error above has most surely nothing to do with Magma.

Hi Göran, I don't know what system Michael van der Gulik use but I'm using MasOs X and I got exactly the same error than Michael.
