Hi Richard, please, don't be so pessimistic! I am sure that young man too can have the same problem! I can understand your filing as I am 77, but I hope we can do some good job again! Lorenzo -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Pharo-users [mailto:pharo-users-bounces@lists.pharo.org] Per conto di horrido Inviato: lunedì 1 aprile 2019 15:07 A: pharo-users@lists.pharo.org Oggetto: Re: [Pharo-users] What's wrong with latest Pharo? This issue bit me in the ass before, but I forgot. Yes, I had a senior moment. The issue is this: When I tried to run Pharo under Ubuntu Server 18.04 at OVH last year, it failed. I had to fall back to Ubuntu Server 16.04. This week, I tried to run Pharo under Ubuntu Server 18.04 at Google Cloud Platform and it failed. Again, I had to fall back to Ubuntu Server 16.04. Why does this issue keep biting me in the ass??? Because I'm 65 and my brain is dying. The bigger issue is this: Hosting services like Digital Ocean, OVH, and Google Cloud Platform are becoming increasingly important in the enterprise space. If Pharo can't run on these server operating systems, it's going to be a black eye for the language. We can get away with not supporting this for now, but it will eventually catch up with us. At Google Cloud Platform, for example, the user can choose from this list of hosts: Debian GNU/Linux 9 (Stretch), CentOS 6, CentOS 7, various versions of CoreOS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Minimal, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Minimal, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Minimal, Ubuntu 18.10 Minimal, various versions of Red Hat, various versions of SUSE, various versions of Window, and so on. It's a long list. *I strongly suspect that many of these are unusable with Pharo.* How to address this? I don't know. But if it's not a major problem now, it will be. It's bitten me in the ass twice, and I can't be alone. I'm giving a fair warning to everyone. Don't lash back at me â I'm just the canary in the coal mine. Tim Mackinnon wrote
Come on, letâs try not to be dismissive , weâve all had that annoying moment where something doesnât work.
Richard, was this installed with zero conf or Launcher, and as mentioned - a Linux distro is going to be helpful.
Iâm assuming it worked before at some point for you right? But was that v6 and now youâre trying v7?

I just installed Pharo under Linux and when I start it up, I get:
Error: External module not found
It doesn't matter how I install Pharo.
