Linux Install -- problems, but eventually successful

Andy Jones
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hard in the end, but since the instructions at http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation#64-bit-System-Setup seem to be out of date, I thought it might be helpful to post something in case those in charge of that page would like to update.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.

Jimmie

Re: Linux Install -- problems, but eventually successful

Mariano Martinez Peck
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,

Same problem. I'm afraid -- Crunchbang refuses to install libasound2:i386 because it cannot fulfill the dependencies.

Re: Linux Install -- problems, but eventually successful

Did you try doing a "ldd" over the VM executable file so that you can find the missing dependencies?

Re: Linux Install -- problems, but eventually successful

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

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

Long version:

    shadow@jenna[~/shadow/scratch/pharo4.0]%: ./pharo
    could not find module vm-display-X11
    [1]    4875 abort      ./pharo

    (134) shadow@jenna[~/shadow/scratch/pharo4.0]%: cd bin

    shadow@jenna[~/shadow/scratch/pharo4.0/bin]%: ldd vm-display-X11
            linux-gate.so.1 (0xf776e000)
            libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf771d000)
            libGL.so.1 => not found
            libX11.so.6 => not found
            libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7572000)
            /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf776f000)

Well outside of my comfort zone here, but a quick web search suggests
I might want libgl1-mesa-glx or libgl1-mesa-swx11? Looking at Synaptic
I can see a libgl1-mesa-swx11-i686:i386, so let's try that?

    (100) shadow@jenna[~/shadow/scratch/pharo4.0/bin]%: sudo apt-get

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     libgl1-mesa-swx11-i686:i386 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-swx11:i386 (=

                                   Depends: libxext6:i386 but it is

    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Okay. Hmm.  Maybe apt-get is failing to chain-install these dependancies? Maybe?

Re: Linux Install -- problems, but eventually successful

Mariano Martinez Peck
I guess you did install the 32 bits packages as explained in here: http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation#64-bit-System-Setup

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

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

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

Long version:

    shadow@jenna[~/shadow/scratch/pharo4.0]%: ./pharo
    could not find module vm-display-X11
    [1]    4875 abort      ./pharo

    (134) shadow@jenna[~/shadow/scratch/pharo4.0]%: cd bin

    shadow@jenna[~/shadow/scratch/pharo4.0/bin]%: ldd vm-display-X11
            linux-gate.so.1 (0xf776e000)
            libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf771d000)
            libGL.so.1 => not found
            libX11.so.6 => not found
            libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7572000)
            /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf776f000)

Well outside of my comfort zone here, but a quick web search suggests
I might want libgl1-mesa-glx or libgl1-mesa-swx11? Looking at Synaptic
I can see a libgl1-mesa-swx11-i686:i386, so let's try that?

    (100) shadow@jenna[~/shadow/scratch/pharo4.0/bin]%: sudo apt-get
install libgl1-mesa-swx11-i686

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     libgl1-mesa-swx11-i686:i386 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-swx11:i386 (=

                                   Depends: libxext6:i386 but it is
not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Okay. Hmm.  Maybe apt-get is failing to chain-install these dependancies? Maybe?

Re: Linux Install -- problems, but eventually successful

Jimmie Houchin-5
In reply to this post by Andy Jones
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.

Re: Linux Install -- problems, but eventually successful

Andy Jones
Well that *is* odd. I thought I had a pretty standard #!11. Perhaps it's my machine that's screwed up.

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.

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

Long version:

Well outside of my comfort zone here, but a quick web search suggests
I might want libgl1-mesa-glx or libgl1-mesa-swx11? Looking at Synaptic
I can see a libgl1-mesa-swx11-i686:i386, so let's try that?

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 --yes install cmake zip bash-completion ruby git xz-utils
debhelper devscripts
apt-get --yes install libc6-dev:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-dev:i386

Hopefully this can help your experience with Pharo and/or Squeak.

Hi all,

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

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!

Re: Linux Install -- problems, but eventually successful

Yuriy Mironenko
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.
