Re: [Pharo-users] Change an existing method from another project

Ok, I will extend SUnit to integrate my extensions. (It is unfortunate because there is just only one or two methods to change.)

Yes.

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo on Fedora 15_64

by Alan Rodas

I take this opportunity to also explain how to add 32 bit libraries for 64 bit ubuntu (in debian if I remember correctly should be the same) for future reference. Open a console Type the following: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ia32-libs You should be prompted to enter your password, type it and hit enter. After the install finishes you should be able to run Pharo. Maybe a note or warning should be put in the download section of the website to address this problem to newcomers.Something like "running linux on a amd64 architecture, read some_section_on_how_to_install_libraries" Cheers -- Alan Rodas Bonjour

Glorp port support for Postgres native driver Was: [ANN] New Glorp Port

by Guillermo Polito

Hi! I've done some little changes in order to have the native postgresql driver working in pharo 1.3 with glorp :). To download it, evaluate: (ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX project version: #stable) load: 'GlorpPostgresV2NativeWithTests' There are 998 tests (Glorp, Postgresql, Cryptography), and most of them are green. Most of the fails are from cryptography :/... I tested it in 1.3 only by now.

I was going to make a list of what we had to do to import it into pharo to send it to you :).
