I see the problem. Changeset 4717 is missing a closing quote on its preamble. That is what produces the syntax error. For some reason the standard image does not choke on this syntax error but BC does. To work around it add the closing quote in the Syntax Error window (and remove the "Unmatched comment quote ->" tag), save, and then proceed through the notifier.
If your using the pre-converted image, before getting updates you have to change "SystemVersion current" version to 'Squeak3.3alpha' and rollback its highestUpdate to 4653 before getting 3.3alpha updates. You also have to remove all number above 4653 in its updates set. (PhiHo might have figured this out already). The next time I put up a pre-converted image, I will only update it to 3.2alpha-4652, so you can easily go to 3.2gamma or 3.3alpha (or maybe I'll post both image versions).
BTW, will you incorporate Scott's enhancements into next version of BC ?
Yes, but I'm going to call that VM "BC++" to distinguish it from core BC changes.
P.S: Does any one know if I can bypass that changeset to proceed to the next ones ?
See above.
Cheers, Anthony
Anthony,

It works like a charm. I didn't even think that it's this simple :-)
I am now at update #4771.

Actually, I did it the hard way ;-) Thanks for your tip.

BC ?

BC changes.
Thanks a lot. Please keep up with the great work and moving onward with your second one.

I downloaded the pre-built BC image and changes from the Swiki at: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2119
and filed in the last-minute fix: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/uploads/2119/BCDebugSelectionFix-ajh.1.cs
Unfortunately the debugger still doesn't appear to be working correctly with halt.
try: 5 halt factorial.
In the debugger UndefinedObject>>DoIt holds:
ERROR "getting sourceCode: UndefinedObject class errorNoDecompilerYet?"
What updates do I need to file in to bring the BC image up to date?
I read the following from the archives:
RE: Updating BC to 3.3alpha (was: [BC][FIX] Block Closures, Version 2 Fix)
I see the problem. Changeset 4717 is missing a closing quote on its preamble. That is what produces the syntax error.

The next time I put up a pre-converted image, I will only update it to 3.2alpha-4652, so you can easily go to 3.2gamma or 3.3alpha (or maybe I'll post both image versions).
I performed the following:
SystemVersion current version: 'Squeak3.3alpha'; highestUpdate: 4653; updates removeAllSuchThat: [:each | each > 4653].
all _ ChangeSorter allChangeSets. (ChangeSorter changeSetsNamedSuchThat: [:name | name first isDigit and: [name initialIntegerOrNil > 4653]]) do: [:cs | all remove: cs wither].
Utilities readServerUpdatesThrough: 4716 saveLocally: true updateImage: true.
But Squeak returns a notification saying that there are no updates to be filled in.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Maurice
BTW, The BC VM is quite zippy, and the IR parser stuff is really nice!
