If need be you can also compile it from a Squeak VM source tar ball (likely needed for ARM).<br><br>- Bert -</div><div><br>On 29.05.2012, at 22:26, Ajay Garg <<a href="mailto:ajay@activitycentral.com">ajay@activitycentral.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Well, there are two different issues ::<br><br>a)<br>First is the data-store issue.<br><br>As seen from the logs, the (mp3) file that was opened, was present in a USB pen drive.<br>ANY ENTRY, when accessed via USB-pen-drive, will give this error (i.e. mp3, jpeg, png - any file).<br>
