However, when I tried version 3.2.91-b98173d, I get an error attempting to connect to a simple MySQL database: > > |st> PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'DBI' Loading package ROE Loading package DBI PackageLoader st> PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'DBD-MySQL' Loading package ObjectDumper Loading package Sockets Loading package DBI Loading package Digest Loading package DBD-MySQL PackageLoader st> db := DBI.Connection connect: 'dbi:MySQL:dbname=test_database' user: 'name' password: 'mypassword' Object: nil error: did not understand #atEnd | My first guess would be that the authentication has failed and that the underlying stream is nil. The MySQL test is ran on the travis-ci build and it passed the last time[1]. So in some configuration it works with master as well. > I have 3.2.5 and 3.2.91-b98173d in two different source directories. When I want to use one of them, I use `make install` to install it. I'm assuming that the `make install` will overwrite whatever it needs to in library/binary folders to operate properly. Is this not a good assumption? It is a good assumption. make install should install everything and the MySQL package should not accidentally pull in old things. kind regards holger [1] https://travis-ci.org/gnu-smalltalk/smalltalk#L3793
