Well as I said, I am in no way downgrading your efforts. And I know you are not exactly Sun , or Python Foundation.
It works for me, I did not say it does not. It works perfectly on windows and macos and on linux when i install the 32 bit compatibility libraries works as well.
If you implement a way to detect whether a 64 bit linux system lack those libraries and install them , I think it wont be a problem at all. Or if that is hard, just add some instructiosn on the website , its just one liner its not that big deal.
actually the zeroconf script was built towards that direction, but currently fails to provide decent feedback. I think we can improve this situation quite a bit by referring to the PPA in the zeroconf script!
Another thing I have observed with the website is that it lacks a donate button, it would be nice if you requested donation like for example pypy website is doing it
http://pypy.org/ <http://pypy.org/>
why not make the 64 bit , a donation target ? I would most certainly would like to donate towards that goal and get more coders working on this. How that sounds ?
actually I like the idea of financing subprojects of Pharo that way!
