Levente, Yes, I did follow your instructions, and got the same error message reported in the post I cited. The solution only solution I have found to that problem is the get the image up and running and THEN attach gdb to it. I can't do that, because the vm dies way too early for that to work. So, I would need to attach, or find another solution to the problem.

Just do exactly what I wrote and you'll have what you need.

I have casually avoided learning how to build Cog in part because that means I can't hack the FFI plugin, which forces me to play by the rules on library paths/ldconfig, etc. It also means that I don't have a build environment ready to go, so I can't readily add syslog() calls to bracket where it quits. gdb isn't helping as described below. If there is something you want me to try, let me know. We have a reproducible Cog crash. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Schwab,Wilhelm K [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 6:03 PM To: [email protected]; Squeak Virtual Machine Development Discussion Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] [Vm-dev] FW: Debugging Cog crash Levente, I follow on why my shell script did not work. Your instructions got me going, but we still don't have an answer. The vm is running, but I cannot attach: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2008-March/001840.html >From what I read, one answer is the get the image loaded and then attach - my >problem is that the vm never gets far enough to actually load the image. Any ideas? Bill
