[Openmcl-devel] Error when requiring cocoa

[Gary Byers]

Using the escalating fine for this question would have been a good idea.
(Well, for me at least.)

This issue is mentioned in the release notes:

<http://trac.clozure.com/ccl/wiki/ReleaseNotes/1.5>

The technology that older versions had used to read and write
preferences files was quite old and had been deprecated several years
ago; the newer technology can't read archives created by the old, which
is what the error message is saying.  (Or trying to say ...)

The simplest workaround is to delete any preferences files:

$ rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.clozure.*
