Thanks for your quick answer...
I think that you are trying to run a 64 bit image with a 32 bit VM.
I have both of this 64bit MIX. First i compiled on my AMD64 hw version with src=32bit and this VM can run images from /dev3 old link and also my current image, but i got the seg. fault on NetNameResolver because i thing there was no 64bit support for SocketPlugin.
So i decided to compile as suggested full 64 VM ( with no src=xxbit option aj Ian mentioned on some web page in config script ) with the latest sources from svn from squeakvm. This produced incompatible version of image error and i am now no able to prepare new 64 bit image from 32, maybe it will take much more to study and investigate/
I run debian 64 bit OS on AMD64 and i can do quick switch to Intel CPU too because i sell hardware.
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.
For do this i will need to solve all the chicken-egg problem. I first need to run on my 64bit Linux some system with at least net support ( 32 bit version fail on NetNameResolver and 64 bit on incopatible image )
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.
At least one person which is able to help somehow, thanks.
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 know because this was my first try.
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 will try to look at it too, but i think pure 64bit and proved-working image will be more helpfull at this time.
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 dont want to judge someone else plan to serve images, but i know that the best solution is always to do as much as i can by myself. So i can offer 10Mbit line with ftp and http access if you will be so kind and upload it there - to my machine. I can run it for years and i also run seaside web so maybe it can be interesting in future. Now there is only hardware e-shop at www.barnet.sk ,but i can build it all tomorow. Please let me know if you can upload your 64 bit image if i will do some web support for 64 bit squeak in future.
My understanding is that the system tracer only works on big-ender machines (i.e. pre-Intel Macs).
Maybe the problem is also in this big-endian, i dont look so deeply to image and vm sources. This was just my first try and one day testing.
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:
I will check this too, thanks :
