This somewhat works. At minimum, the command for downloading the google home page works. On the other hand, the pharo-ui line caused an error: "pharo: could not find any display driver"

That's not a huge deal as this is on a remote server and I can run headless. However, when I try to do that (i.e., ./pharo-vm/pharo headless ./Pharo.image &), I get the same message about not finding a display driver.

I do get both vm-display-X11 and vm-display-null showing up as available drivers.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi,

It seems some people are having trouble getting Pharo to work on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64-bit.

Here is one way to make things work.

Pharo (the VM) is a 32-bit executable dynamically linked to a number of libraries, each of which has to be present in its 32-bit variant in order to run Pharo and/or to use all features.

On a clean, stock, fully updated Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64-bit, do the following (the X11, GL and asound libraries are not needed when you run headless on a server):

$ sudo apt-get install curl libc6:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libX11.6:i386 libGL.1:i386 libasound2:i386

$ curl get.pharo.org/40+vm | bash

$ ./pharo Pharo.image eval "ZnClient new get: 'https://google.com'"

$ ./pharo-ui Pharo.image

HTH,

Sven

PS: <Pro tip> You can use ldd to check if all dependencies of the VM and its plugins in the pharo-vm directory are satisfied
