Error installing gsDevKit on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Desktop

Hi Dale,

I ran this script:

installServer devKit 3.2.1

I am not sure which branch of gsDevKit I am running, but these are the command I run to download the project:

git clone https://github.com/GsDevKit/gsDevKitHome.git
cd gsDevKitHome
git checkout -b  <your project branch name>

I don't have the full output available at the moment, but there were no errors reported before the Pharo error mentioned in my initial post. Would you need the full output? If so, should I at least remove everything related to Pharo before re-running it (VM, Sources and Image)?

Two little comments (take them as from me, not from Dale). First, this script and probably many others (like the old gemstone installation script) are mostly "safe" in the sense of being able to be run multiple times. The scripts check in every step of the existing of certain files or settings in order to realize if such a step is needed or has already been run.  As for example of the Pharo download, if you check the script it does indeed checks if /pharo exists. So if there is a chance the file was download but broken, then yes, I would remove all it downloaded in order to make the script think you didn't do that part and re run the script.

   

Hi Dale,

I ran those two scripts and while running the 'vmLatest' the output indicated that a dependency was not intstalled (lib32). I realized that I haven't verified that my OS has all the required libraries, so I installed the basic prerequisites for Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS. After that, I ran again both vmLatest and 30, as you specified and they ran successfully. I then re-run installServer 3.2.1 which run aparently without error this time, but it didn't start the tODE client at the end of the process as explained in https://github.com/GsDevKit/gsDevKitHome#development-kit-server-installation. I'll see if I can start the tODE client manually, but I've made good progress already (and I really should have checked weather my OS was ready for the install before starting).

Thanks,

Alejandro

Mariano makes good points about being able to run the scripts without redoing work already done ...

Thanks for the additional details ... It looks like you are on the master branch and I am a bit mystified how you are getting this error. The `installServer` script first calls the installGemStone, then the createTodeImage[1] scripts. The createTodeImage script expects pharo to be installed during installGemStone. If the $GS_HOME/pharo/pharo-vm does not exist the installGemstone script calls installPharo[2].

The installPharo script then uses `wget` to get the pharo vm and the pharo images[3]:

  cd $GS_HOME/pharo
  wget -O- get.pharo.org/vmLatest | bash
  wget -O- get.pharo.org/30 | bash

All of the scripts use `set -e` and there are no `exit 0` calls without  $GS_HOME/pharo/pharo-vm existing???

If you could run the above bash commands, and send me the results, perhaps we'll understand the mystery ...

OTOH, at this point in time, you should probably start useing GsDevKitHome on the dev branch by following these instructions[4] and do the "FOR EARLY ADOPTERS STEPS" ... the installPharo is a bit different and more importantly, the things you do and learn on the dev branch of GsDevKitHome will be closer to what will be present in GsDevKit_home when it is ready...
