That looks like it cannot find the boot component at the expected place. What did you set ALICE_HOME to? It should point to the alice subdirectory in your installation, i.e. the one containing compiler/, lib/, and tools/. Double-check that there is a proper Boot.alc in lib/system/ under that home. I'm surprised that you actually get that far. We have never used that architecture. > PS: Is Alice still alive? There has not been any active development for some time, and it is not clear whether that will change. It is still actively used in teaching, though. - Andreas _______________________________________________ alice-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/mailman/listinfo/alice-users
