I forgot to say that you can also touch the file ./Cog.app/Contents/info.plist to increase the maximum amount of memory. You can push it up to 2000m after that limit the vm simply crashes when starts.

The field is SqueakMaxHeapSize.

Hi Alberto, you should start the vm by command line adding the -memory option. Ex:

./Cog.app/Contents/MacOS/Croquet -memory 1500m &

it should work up to 2000m

Hi all,

I am trying to import an MSE file [1] generated by Verveine-J into the latest moose-latest-dev image [2]. My image is basically the same you find in the Jenkins build and I am running it on MacOS 10.7.3.

When the parsing of the file is almost completed I get this dialog:

"Space is low

Warning! Pharo is almost out of memory!

Low space detection is now disabled. [...]"

By simply closing all the windows and restarting the image, I have no luck: The message still appears. The message also suggests to "restart the Pharo VM with a larger memory allocation." Unfortunately I have no idea on how to do this in general, and on a Mac in particular. I looked at previous threads in the mailing list, but I was not able to find any solution.

Can anyone help me with this problem, please?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers, Alberto
