  • What operating system you are operating under (Windows 10? Mac OS X 10.13?)
  • What version of Java you are running. (Run java -version)
  • Whether the problem occurs in
    • the installer
    • Eclipse
    • Running vergil from the command line

Environment Variables and macOS

Note that some demos, such as the hlacerti demos, require certain environment variables to be set. If, under Mac OS, Vergil is invoked by clicking on Vergil.app, then these environment variables will not be set. The workaround is to invoke Vergil using $PTII/bin/vergil. See #329: Under macOS, Vergil.app does not set environment variables needed for hlacerti demos.
