Hi, You need a VM with the SqueakV3 memory manager and compiled in the past few months for Mac OS X Sierra support.
All recent Pharo VM are compiled with the Spur memory manager leading to this error “This interpreter (vers. X) cannot read image file (vers. 6505)”. I would try the latest VM from this repository (latest.zip): http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo/mac/ If you get the second error ( [NSPathStore2 stringByAppendingPathExtension:]: cannot append extension 'bundle/Contents/MacOS/' to … ), it means the VM is too old and does not support Mac OS X Sierra. In this case, try instead the VM named: cog_macos32x86_squeak.cog.v3_201703051406.tar.gz present at: https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/201703051406#files It should work but it is not a Pharo VM hence some features may be disabled (specific VM plugins, etc.). Depending on your use-case it may be enough or not. Best, On Sun, Mar 12, 2017 at 4:57 PM, David Shaffer <cdshaf...@acm.org> wrote: > I have an image (from Pharo3.0) which reports version 6505.
