Hi Alistair, thank you for testing it, I will try to generate a version for older glibc as soon it does not produce a problem with newer versions. This is an interesting subject to discuss and see what is better for our community. Nowadays, we are centering in producing executable versions for Debian based distributions (especially Ubuntu). We have to decide which are the platforms we are going to support directly generating binaries distributions and what only through support in source code. Having more and more versions and different building environments requires also to have matching testing scenarios and the effort to maintain them. As usual, we have limited resources and we have to decide where to put the efforts. If there are special interests in a given platform it will be nice to know that (and also if you use it and can, please think about how to collaborate with the efforts done by the consortium). Also, I will like to discuss this subject as choosing Debian / Ubuntu is just a casualty and we need to have a thought decision.

Hi Pablo,
This VM looks like it will only run with Ubuntu 19.04 or later:
$ ./pharo --version /dev/shm/p8/pharo-vm/lib/pharo/5.0-/pharo: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /dev/shm/p8/pharo-vm/lib/pharo/5.0-/pharo)
GLIBC 2.29 is delivered with Ubuntu 19.04.
Ubuntu 18.04 is the current LTS (GLIBC 2.27), and Ubuntu 16.04 is still supported (GLIBC 2.23), so I'd expect that the VM is linked against 2.23, or at least 2.27.
Cheers, Alistair

You are right Norbert, sorry I miss the data. This is available through zeroConf. Doing for example:
wget -O - get.pharo.org/64/70+vmLatest | bash wget -O - get.pharo.org/64/80+vmLatest | bash
Cheers, Pablo
