I think that you are trying to run a 64 bit image with a 32 bit VM. The 64 bit image requires a separate VM executable, which you need to build by generating sources with the "64 bit VM?" check box selected in VMMaker. This VM is required in order to run an image with 64 bit Smalltalk word size.
Is anybody else running 64bit image, and be so kind to give link to download it ?
I run a 64 bit image occasionally, but only for the fun of seeing it work. I also use it for updating various plugins that I maintain, so they are 64 bit clean (OSPP, etc). Otherwise, I don't know of anyone running 64 bit images right now.
One other important thing that you need to know is that the original 64 bit image on the "dist3" site does not work with a current VM. I have attached a change set to show the method that has changed, but it's a bit of a trick to actually do the update (I made a custom hacked VM that tolerated either version of the image, and used that to update the image to match the current VM).
I think someone announced a web site for distributing useful images. I guess I can upload a patched 64 bit image there if noone else is has a better plan.
I was trying with SystemTracer64 writeImage: from last actual 3.9 RC3 but still always fail on this version message.
My understanding is that the system tracer only works on big-ender machines (i.e. pre-Intel Macs).
There is now a "Squeak 64 bit" category on Mantis for tracking 64 bit Squeak issues. Currently there are three items that you should read:
