[Pharo-project] CogVM on linux machines
Hello All, I am currently try to deploy the 1.4 Pharo CogVm on different linux machines. The underlying aim is to propose a stable linux configuration that will be deployed in our university (for Smalltalk/Pharo lectures and students practice). As far as for now, we have windows workstations on which Pharo (1.3) was installed: during this year, we meet some troubles (Pharo images containing students' work no more readable or crashing all the time :-( ). Students complain... I really want to seperate VM install (on the workstations) with the image files (on separate students' home directories) that's why the oneClick bundle does not interest me. I made some tests on different linux machines and I find some problems: - on a 5 years old machine with a fresh installed latest Ubuntu (v11), the CogVm crashes (segmentation fault)...while the 1.4 oneClick installation is running well. The same install on another but same model machine with the same linux distribution (same version), the CogVm immediately ends with this error Syntax error: "(" unexpected - on a more recent machine with a up-to-date Ubuntu LTS (v10), the CogVm works well Any advices are welcome and if some of you have linux requirements/specifications don't hesitate to tell me ;-) Regards, Herve -- -- Herve VERJUS -----ooOoo----- http://univ.herveverjus.com/ -- Universite de Savoie - IAE Savoie Mont-Blanc -- Directeur du Departement Technologie et Management / IMUS-IAE -- Resp.

if your computers have a 64bits Ubuntu, you must install the lib32 library. I advise you to try the latest VM releases from https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/ or http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2550/.

Bonjour Damien, thank you for the links. Unfortunately, the machines I use for tests are 32 bits machines. Herve On 25/04/12 12:02, Damien Cassou wrote:

you will have less problems with 32bits machines, so don't worry. The link to download recent VMs are still useful, please try them. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them popular by not having them." James Iry
Yes...the cogVM (VM.r2550 - cogvmlinux.tgz file) is working well !!! Many thanks Damien :-) Herve On 25/04/12 12:14, Damien Cassou wrote:

Hi Herve, On some really old hardware, even with latest ubuntu, I had problems running applications with Cog. In that cases I found than Stack versions or even old interpreter versions are much more stable. Don't ask me why, just that it happens. Maybe you can try with some of those vms? best, Esteban On Apr 25, 2012, at 11:51 AM, Herve Verjus wrote:

Hi Estbean, yep. The vm (vm.r2550) found following links Damien provided me works fine. Thank you again ! best, herve On 25/04/12 13:04, Esteban Lorenzano wrote:
