I've learned that Processing 2.0b7 has a serious bug not garbage collecting images from
last question.
So I tried alternative ways only to fail.
I thought my java version was the problem, so upgraded it to 7. (1.7.0_13)
Before download and install version 7, typing "java -version" on terminal showed like 1.6.x_xx.
As it turned out that the version of java had nothing to do with my failure, I decided to just use Processing 1.5.1.
But with my java upgraded, Processing 1.5.1 no longer worked.
Error message was:
Could not run the sketch.[0] "Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM."[1] "Please install the desired version."
..and so on..
It seemed like I needed to downgrade my java, but I could not find how.
I managed to download old apple version of java and reinstalled it but didn't work.
I found some documents like
this and tried but didn't work.
I tried opening old java pkg file with Pacifist but I didn't know what should I do afterward.
Enter "java -version" on terminal always gave me "1.7.0_13" back.
I haven't turn the time machine on.
I feel so frustrated.
Could anybody help me please?
