Greetings,
I have been in a bit of a black hole over the past few days in attempting to get a version of Squeak 3.9 downloaded. I thought it may be helpful to list what I did so here goes:
1. Downloaded Squeak 3.9 (web) from here: http://squeak.ofset.org/squeak-web/
2. Did the following test on the downloaded image: "1 break". What I was expecting when I did this is a Debugger but instead I got a "Syntax Error" window with a bunch of meaningless text in the window (at least to me it was meaningless).
3. Downloaded Squeak 3.9 (dev) from here: http://squeak.ofset.org/squeak-dev/
4. Execute "1 break" and got the same "Syntax Error" window.
5. Downloaded Squeak 3.9 from here: http://www.squeak.org/Download
6. Execute : "1 break" and I got the normal debugger that I expected.
What I conclude from this is that there may be something wrong with the download images at step 1 and 3 above.
My goal was to have an image with Squeak and Seaside and that is what I think the link at steps 1 and step 3 offers but I suspect something is not right - at least it did not work for me - and I can reproduce the behaviour.
Eventually I downloaded the "One Click" image from here http://www.seaside.st/download/squeak and everything works as I expected.
If there is something wrong with the images at http://squeak.ofset.org/squeak-web/ I hope that it can be fixed because an image with seaside, pier and magritte is exactly what I was looking for.
Cheers, Frank

Can you tell me where and how you performed step 2 or 4 in these images? Because I cannot reproduce the error you got. I executed "1 break" in a workspace and in a system browser in both images you mentioned and it worked as it's supposed to work.

I performed steps 2 and 4 in a workspace.
I will perform steps 1 to steps 4 again to verify my results and I will get back to you.
I don't know if it matters but I am running Windows XP,

Well I am sticking to my story :) I re-installed Squeak 3.9 dev from scratch and I get the same results.
Also, I tried it on another windows machine and I get the same results (as described above).

ok, this is strange... I'm using Squeak 3.9 dev on a Mac, so the problem could be indeed related to Windows and the VM.
Can you send me the whole text you get when this "Syntax Error" occurs?

I can't reproduce that on my Linux computer.

After a lot of messing around I think I have stumbled on what is causing the problem. When I remove the sources file "SqueakV39.sources" things work as expected - I get a debugger and things seem normal.
To summarize, if I remove SqueakV39.sources then things work perfectly. If I add SqueakV39.sources then it fails. I can reproduce this behaviour at will.

Is it possible that you did not download SqueakV39.sources as a binary file? If it is stored as a text file on a windows computer, your FTP program will mess up the line end characters (Windows insists on using CRLF in files).
To check, see whether your file has a size of exactly 17584742 bytes. If it does not, it is broken.

Yes!!! That was the problem. Thanks you very much.
It may be that your .sources file is corrupted, possibly due to its being interpretable as text. Try deleting it and downloading it freshly from the Squeak site, making sure to download it as a binary file rather than text.
