Hi,
I don't know which version of VM and Pharo are you using, but for using Alien
properly in latest version you need to load FFI first:
Gofer it
squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
package: 'ConfigurationOfFFI';
load.
(ConfigurationOfFFI project version: '1.5') load.
then Alien needs to be latest from Eliot's branch:
Gofer it
squeaksource: 'Alien';
package: 'Alien';
load.
that should work on latest Pharo images and latest vm builds :)
best,
Esteban
