Hi!

for a brief moment you really scared me. I thought you referred to RedHat Linux 6 which was released in 1999 but you are referring to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

As it turns out we have "latest" (as soon as a commit is made to pharo-vm.git) and hand curated "stable" (hand created source tarballs, rebuilt from a git commit of opensmalltalk-vm) for RHEL6 and CentOS 6.

CentOS 6.x:

# Add the repo $ yum-config-manager --add-repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/pharo:/latest/Ce...

OR (for stable):

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/pharo:/latest/Ce...

# Install 32bit packages (with X11 dependency for *-ui or not)

$ yum install pharo6-32-ui.i686 or pharo6-32.i386

# Install 64bit packages

$ yum install pharo6-64-ui.x86_64 pharo6-64.x86_64

Thank you. Your instructions describes the steps for CentOS 6.x. Are they the exact same steps for RHEL6? Also, I am trying this on a CentOS 6.0 virtual machine and I get this error : [centoslive@livecd test]$ yum-config-manager --add-repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/pharo:/latest/Ce... Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit Usage: "yum-config-manager [options] [section] Command line error: no such option: --add-repo [centoslive@livecd test]$ Is there something else to install before?

Any developer can get a free RHEL license and a dev account for accessing docs and what not. This includes CVE fixes etc. CentOS is close but not always the same. e.g. no security fixes are included vs RHEL when updating (even if the flag is accepted). I am going next week to the RedHat forum in Breda. I would like to find how to get Pharo available on RHEL out of the box.

I don't have a RHEL subscription but I assumed they are similar but OBS even produces RHEL packages:

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages: /pharo:/stable/RHEL_6/

...

Command line error: no such option: --add-repo [centoslive@livecd test]$

Not sure. Even the RHEL documentation mentions --add-repo exists. I assume you can download the .repo[1] file and put it in the right directory?

[1] RHEL6: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages: /pharo:/stable/RHEL_6/devel:languages:pharo:stable.repo

CentOS6: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages: /pharo:/stable/CentOS_6/devel:languages:pharo:stable.repo

There's a reason it's referred to by numerous developers as R-HELL.

Hi,

Hi!

Well, our redhat 6.9 systems have 2.12, so, that qualifies.

And yes, we still have RedHat 6, and 6.9 was released only 6 months ago!  It will finish extended support in a mind-blowing 7 more years in 2024.

Redhat 5, still supported for another 3 years till 2020 has glibc 2.5.

Hi, Maybe the instructions for CentOS and RHEL could be added to the linux download page of pharo.org? -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr http://www.synectique.eu 2 rue Jacques Prévert 01, 59650 Villeneuve d'ascq France
