I can't run Pharo5 on Linux Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS

Hi guys,
I'm trying to run Pharo5 on Linux Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS with no luck.

I downloaded the default GNU/linux zip from http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation
Than I followed the instruction for Debian 8 as suggested:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libx11-6:i386
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1:i386
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0:i386

finally I executed
./pharo5.0/bin/pharo MyImage.image eval "Stdio stdout << 'Hello,World'"

but the output is:
pharo: could not find any display driver
Aborted


Any hint?
TIA
Davide

Nobody?

Sounds like the libx11 library hasn't been installed properly.

Try the PPA and then we can think about other options.

Thanks Peter, I already checked libx11 with ldd and everything is resolved

Did you run:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

I have Pharo running on Ubuntu 14.04. There seemed to have been better instructions months ago and specific Ubuntu install ppa's but that changed. Now it's more confusing for those Ubuntu users.

Hi Brad
Unfortunately the ia32-libs package is no longer loadable on Ubuntu 14. See http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation

Davide,

It certainly works headless:

$ mkdir pharo5

$ cd pharo5

Thanks Sven, you are right, curling  get.pharo.org/50+vm does not give any problem.

The issue isn't related to the libraries but it depends on http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo5.0-linux.zip
After unzipping the file, it extracts a script "pharo" that contains:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# path
DIR=`readlink -f $0` #resolve symlink
ROOT=`dirname "$DIR"` #obtain dir of the resolved path
LINUX="$ROOT/bin"
RESOURCES="$ROOT/shared"
ICONS="$ROOT/icons"

# icon (note: gvfs-set-attribute is found in gvfs-bin on Ubuntu
# systems and it seems to require an absolute filename)
gvfs-set-attribute \
        "$0" \
        "metadata::custom-icon" \
        "file://$ICONS/Pharo.png" \
                2> /dev/null

# zenity is part of GNOME
image_count=`ls "$RESOURCES"/*.image 2>/dev/null |wc -l`
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
        if which zenity &>/dev/null && [ "$image_count"  -ne 1 ]; then
                image=`zenity --title 'Select an image' --file-selection --filename "$RESOURCES/" --file-filter '*.image' --file-filter '*'`
        else
                image="$RESOURCES/Pharo5.0.image"              
        fi
else
        image=$*
fi


# execute
exec "$LINUX/pharo" \
        --plugins "$LINUX" \
        --encoding utf8 \
        -vm-display-X11 \
        "$image"


As you can see the last command executes the image with the vm-display-X11 and so the error when I try  ./pharo Pharo.image eval "Stdio stdout << 'Hello,World!'" (from Pharo home page: http://pharo.org)


Sorry to have annoyed the list.

Are you trying to use Pharo headless or with the IDE?

Hi Brad

Headless.
On prompt I wrote: ./pharo5.0/bin/pharo MyImage.image eval "Stdio stdout << 'Hello,World'"
The "issue" was in the script included in http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo5.0-linux.zip
