Problems starting SheepShaver

arkadio · Post by **arkadio** » Wed Sep 22, 2004 3:10 pm

Hello, all.

I have successfully used SheepShaver to run MacOS 8.6 using an SRPM build from 2004-07-05.
Need to mention, it hangs sometimes during execution (at least it stops responding after 2-20 minutes).
The ROMs I tried are Mac OS Upadate ROM 1.0 and some 4Mb PowerPC ROM. Both work OK.

However, when I tried to use the current CVS version, it gives following error after displaying initial black window (with 4Mb ROM):

The ROM is:

Followup:
The mentioned problem was solved when compiling SS --without-gtk.
However it is still locking up or hanging constantly, either when booting Mac OS 8.6 or when running it. The cursor moves (maybe the X11 cursor) but SS stops resresponding.
What can be the cause?

Followup:
The hangups of MacOS sessions are in fact crashes.
For instance, when trying to start IE5 for Mac I get the following
