Linux Install -- problems, but eventually successful
Hi all, I've been having trouble getting *any* sort of Smalltalk working on Linux. But ultimately I got Pharo (my first choice) working on Debian Jessie. It wasn't terribly hard in the end, but since the instructions at http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation#64-bit-System-Setup seem to be out of date, I thought it might be helpful to post something in case those in charge of that page would like to update. Since there is no issue tracker, I assume this is a good a place as any. ## Short Version ## * sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 * sudo apt-get update * sudo apt-get install lib32zl lib32ncurses5 Note that there is no ia32-libs package on Jessie, as far as I can tell. (I have no idea whether you actually need to install lib32ncurses5, but those were what apt-get suggested, and it worked.) I do have a startup error -- "MessageNotUnderstood: EmbeddedFreeTypeFontInstaller>>failedToOpen:Index:" -- but it doesn't seem to break anything. ## Longer version / Rant ## Pharo turned out to be impossible on my netbook (where I would like to use it, sadly) because it is still running Crunchbang, which is Debian Woody under the hood. So in theory the fix from the 64bit install page should work. It doesn't, though -- some sort of problem with #! I suppose "The following packages have unmet dependacies: ia32-libs: Depends: ia32-libs-i386" Squeak, as downloaded from their site, has exactly the same problem. Pharo isn't in the Debian Repository, but an old version of the Squeak VM -- *just* the VM -- is. (Not sure what the point of that is.) It doesn't work with the current Squeak image from the website. I did eventually manage to get a compatible image ... via FTP. Good grief. (Good enough to learn the ropes, I suppose.) I really didn't want to go the Gnu Smalltalk road, but in desperation I tried it. Under both Crunchbang and Debian Jessie, the gst-browser package falls over immediately when you start it, a great big error trace I won't bother to paste here. These are packages in the *repository*. Is no-one maintaining them? The point of this rant is to give context to the following: thank you. Really, thank you, to the folks behind Pharo and everyone reading this. This is the problem with FOSS: blink, and yesterday's rave technology is gone. And Smalltalk is *important* -- I'm not a Smalltalk programmer, but every time I play with it I learn so much about OOP, programming, and good design of classes. And I keep coming back to try to work with it again, because it offers things I want and just can't get elsewhere. The idea that Smalltalk might one day just ... not run? Not worth thinking about. Okay, broke a cardinal rule here. Apologies for joining a mailing list and then immediately posting a long rant. Going to Lurk Mode now! Shadow.
Hello, Welcome to Pharo and the Pharo community. Smalltalk/Pharo are exceptionally empowering tools. And getting better all the time. My apologies for your difficulties. I personally have not seen that page before as I already have scripts for installing all of the requisite libraries. This script has worked for me for years on Ubuntu or other Debian based distros. My favorite was Crunchbang. I did not originate this script but believe I started with I found years ago for either Debian or Ubuntu. I cleaned it up and added to it over time. It installs all the necessary libraries to my knowledge. Whether or not installs more than I need I do not know. All I do know is that after running the script Pharo runs perfectly. I copied all of this from my setup-pharo.sh script. I run this script anytime I have a fresh Linux install. I then sudo -s and run the script. dpkg --add-architecture i386 apt-get update apt-get --yes install cmake zip bash-completion ruby git xz-utils debhelper devscripts apt-get --yes install libc6-dev:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-dev:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 apt-get --yes install libssl-dev:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libssh2-1:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386 libx11-dev:i386 libsm-dev:i386 libice-dev:i386 apt-get --yes install build-essential gcc-multilib g++ apt-get --yes install libgl1-mesa-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 Hopefully this can help your experience with Pharo and/or Squeak.

Hi, Note also that from Pharo website you can get to: http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation#64-bit-System-Setup You get there from http://pharo.org/download (where it says "*GNU/Linux virtual machine - Besides the generic binary, there are pre-built VMs for systems with libc < 2.15 (e.g. Debian 7 "wheezy"), and CentOS. NB: If you're on 64-bit GNU/Linux, see our instructions to prepare your system*") Cheers, On Sat, Jul 25, 2015 at 1:09 PM, Jimmie Houchin <jlhouchin@gmail.com> wrote:

Did you try doing a "ldd" over the VM executable file so that you can find the missing dependencies? On Sat, Jul 25, 2015 at 7:09 PM, Shadowfirebird <shadowfirebird@gmail.com> wrote:

Actually, no, because I assumed that there were broken dependancies in Crunchbang and it wouldn't help. Here goes...

Hi all,
I've been having trouble getting *any* sort of Smalltalk working on Linux. But ultimately I got Pharo (my first choice) working on Debian Jessie.
It wasn't terribly hard in the end, but since the instructions at http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation#64-bit-System-Setup seem to be out of date, I thought it might be helpful to post something in case those in charge of that page would like to update. Since there is no issue tracker, I assume this is a good a place as any.
## Short Version ##
* sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 * sudo apt-get update * sudo apt-get install lib32zl lib32ncurses5
Note that there is no ia32-libs package on Jessie, as far as I can tell. (I have no idea whether you actually need to install lib32ncurses5, but those were what apt-get suggested, and it worked.)
I do have a startup error -- "MessageNotUnderstood: EmbeddedFreeTypeFontInstaller>>failedToOpen:Index:" -- but it doesn't seem to break anything.
## Longer version / Rant ##
Pharo turned out to be impossible on my netbook (where I would like to use it, sadly) because it is still running Crunchbang, which is Debian Woody under the hood. So in theory the fix from the 64bit install page should work. It doesn't, though -- some sort of problem with #! I suppose
"The following packages have unmet dependacies: ia32-libs: Depends: ia32-libs-i386"
Squeak, as downloaded from their site, has exactly the same problem.
Pharo isn't in the Debian Repository, but an old version of the Squeak VM -- *just* the VM -- is. (Not sure what the point of that is.) It doesn't work with the current Squeak image from the website. I did eventually manage to get a compatible image ... via FTP. Good grief. (Good enough to learn the ropes, I suppose.)
I really didn't want to go the Gnu Smalltalk road, but in desperation I tried it. Under both Crunchbang and Debian Jessie, the gst-browser package falls over immediately when you start it, a great big error trace I won't bother to paste here. These are packages in the *repository*. Is no-one maintaining them?
The point of this rant is to give context to the following: thank you. Really, thank you, to the folks behind Pharo and everyone reading this.
This is the problem with FOSS: blink, and yesterday's rave technology is gone. And Smalltalk is *important* -- I'm not a Smalltalk programmer, but every time I play with it I learn so much about OOP, programming, and good design of classes. And I keep coming back to try to work with it again, because it offers things I want and just can't get elsewhere. The idea that Smalltalk might one day just ... not run? Not worth thinking about.
Okay, broke a cardinal rule here. Apologies for joining a mailing list and then immediately posting a long rant. Going to Lurk Mode now!

Just as a curiosity what Crunchbang install are you using? I have used my script on Crunchbang. But I haven't used #! since it ended. I like staying current so I always installed Waldorf and the ran another script to upgrade to Sid install all of my stuff. Then I would run my script in my new Jessie based #!. I started this email above and then decided to do a fresh install #! as stated above. It worked just fine. In fact I tried it while still as Waldorf. Pharo failed there stating that it required GLIBC 2.15. If I remember correctly. I am at a loss as to what the problem is. Jimmie On 07/26/2015 05:06 AM, Shadowfirebird wrote:

TL;DR: I just got tangled up in missing dependancies; I think this is a #! problem. Thanks for the idea, though.

My apologies for your difficulties. I personally have not seen that page before as I already have scripts for installing all of the requisite libraries. This script has worked for me for years on Ubuntu or other Debian based distros. My favorite was Crunchbang.
I did not originate this script but believe I started with I found years ago for either Debian or Ubuntu. I cleaned it up and added to it over time. It installs all the necessary libraries to my knowledge. Whether or not installs more than I need I do not know. All I do know is that after running the script Pharo runs perfectly.
I copied all of this from my setup-pharo.sh script. I run this script anytime I have a fresh Linux install. I then sudo -s and run the script.

Hi all,
I've been having trouble getting *any* sort of Smalltalk working on Linux. But ultimately I got Pharo (my first choice) working on Debian Jessie.
It wasn't terribly hard in the end, but since the instructions at http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation#64-bit-System-Setup seem to be out of date, I thought it might be helpful to post something in case those in charge of that page would like to update. Since there is no issue tracker, I assume this is a good a place as any.
## Short Version ##
* sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 * sudo apt-get update * sudo apt-get install lib32zl lib32ncurses5
Note that there is no ia32-libs package on Jessie, as far as I can tell. (I have no idea whether you actually need to install lib32ncurses5, but those were what apt-get suggested, and it worked.)
I do have a startup error -- "MessageNotUnderstood: EmbeddedFreeTypeFontInstaller>>failedToOpen:Index:" -- but it doesn't seem to break anything.
## Longer version / Rant ##
Pharo turned out to be impossible on my netbook (where I would like to use it, sadly) because it is still running Crunchbang, which is Debian Woody under the hood. So in theory the fix from the 64bit install page should work. It doesn't, though -- some sort of problem with #! I suppose
"The following packages have unmet dependacies: ia32-libs: Depends: ia32-libs-i386"
Squeak, as downloaded from their site, has exactly the same problem.
Pharo isn't in the Debian Repository, but an old version of the Squeak VM -- *just* the VM -- is. (Not sure what the point of that is.) It doesn't work with the current Squeak image from the website. I did eventually manage to get a compatible image ... via FTP. Good grief. (Good enough to learn the ropes, I suppose.)
I really didn't want to go the Gnu Smalltalk road, but in desperation I tried it. Under both Crunchbang and Debian Jessie, the gst-browser package falls over immediately when you start it, a great big error trace I won't bother to paste here. These are packages in the *repository*. Is no-one maintaining them?
The point of this rant is to give context to the following: thank you. Really, thank you, to the folks behind Pharo and everyone reading this.
This is the problem with FOSS: blink, and yesterday's rave technology is gone. And Smalltalk is *important* -- I'm not a Smalltalk programmer, but every time I play with it I learn so much about OOP, programming, and good design of classes. And I keep coming back to try to work with it again, because it offers things I want and just can't get elsewhere. The idea that Smalltalk might one day just ... not run? Not worth thinking about.
Okay, broke a cardinal rule here. Apologies for joining a mailing list and then immediately posting a long rant. Going to Lurk Mode now!

I just had all sort of the troubles trying to install Pharo on Ubuntu 14.04 x64. I followed different routes and (sub)sets of instructions, but always come to either crashing or freezing. And then, next day, everything just started to work normally. So, I conclude, that *REBOOT is necessary at some (final) stage* (which is not obvious thing in Linux world). Trouble is I don't know at which stage, and which combination of actions gives me working environment. Maybe I need to make some experimentation to make this clear, but trouble I don't know how to set my system to "fresh" condition, except of re-installing it. 2015-07-27 20:02 GMT+03:00 Sean P.
