Hi there,

Getting Pharo 2.0/3.0 up and running on Debian Wheezy (= Stable) or on
other more conservative linux distribution wasn't exactly easy as the
VM's provided by the Pharo team fail to run on those systems.

Well, not any longer. You may find precompiled binaries at:

https://swing.fit.cvut.cz/jenkins/view/Projects/job/pharo-vm-stable-swing/

or use zeroconf script:

curl http://swing.fit.cvut.cz/download/pharo/vm-swing | bash

or

wget -O- http://swing.fit.cvut.cz/download/pharo/vm-swing | bash

The VM is compiled from pre-generated sources found at:

http://files.pharo.org/vm/src/vm-unix-sources/blessed/pharo-vm-2014.09.20.tar.bz2

Thanks to Clement, Damien & Markus for their help.

Have fun.

Jan
