It seems that the ConfigurationOfAlien is broken. I tried on a Pharo-1.1-11411-dev10.07.01 image and got the same failure. It does not seem to load the most recent packages.
I then loaded the packages one by one using the monticello repository browser And all tests are green (on Mac). Packages in load order: Alien-Prereqs-KenTreis.5 Alien-Core-JoachimGeidel.64 Alien-CoreTest-F_Olivero.22 Alien-Examples-F_Olivero.2 Alien-LibC-mha.9 Alien-MacOSX-AppKit-John_M_McIntosh.1 Alien-MacOSX-Core-John_M_McIntosh.2 Noury On 26 août 2010, at 15:07, Noury Bouraqadi wrote: > Hi, > > Strange.
