Norbert,

The travis script explicitly downloads the pharo-vm-core:i386 package and fails then downloads the vm ... so I'm not sure why the pharo-vm-core:i386 is needed separately ...

the i386 package is needed on 64 bit linux, it defines the dependencies to the 32bit libraries for the x11 display plugin, sound plugin ... .
if you just download the vm (get.pharo.org/vm) you'll get a 32bit vm too (and pharos plugins), but it may not start if the other 32 bit libraries are missing.
(I think, even starting the pharovm headless does not work with out the 32 bit libraries).


Nicolai,

Thank you very much! ... This helps a lot! ...

My builderCI[1] scripts explicitly installed the "required" 32 bit libs needed for Pharo and Squeak, and when I converted to zero conf, I used the travis+vm script because I am running the tests on travis (being otherwise ignorant of the purpose of the travis script), but I did not remove the 32 bit lib install step, soooo I just might be able to get away without the travis script ...

If I am missing additional libraries I can add them to the "explicit install list" ... BTW, when I look at the install log files, no libraries are installed after the pharo-vm-core:i386 library, so I'm guessing that that means that the necessary libs were already there?

I've got my fingers crossed:)

Dale
