HI,

I'm back on this topic.

I asked Chris about this and he told me this:

"Hi Pablo, sorry for the delayed response.

>From looking at the stack trace, it appears the problem is caused
either by locked files or bugs or inconsistencies in UnixFileDirectory.
 Let me explain.

In MaObjectFiler>>#open, Magma asks the UnixFileDirectory

  directory exists and: [ directory fileExists: self class
objectsFilename ]

and the system reported true for this, otherwise it would have stopped
you right there with a MagmaEnvironmentError.

Under this assumption, Magma then proceeds to open the object file.
FileDirectory>>#fileNamed: is used to create the FileStream which is
required by Magma.  Unfortunately if some problem occurs,
FileDirectory>>#fileNamed: doesn't signal a meaningful error, it only
answers nil.  Since we just checked fileExists: its not because it
doesn't exist so is it possible the files are "locked" by another
process or something?  Did they get closed after the upload?

Otherwise, there may be some bad inconsistency with
UnixFileDirectory>>#fileExists: and UnixFileDirectory>>#fileNamed:.

I'm no Unix expert, anyone else have any ideas?

"

This seems to be an issue with the VM that I can't figure out how to solve.

Does anybody else have another clue?

Thanks,
Pablo.-
