Pharo 7 under Linux

Hi everyone,

I haven't had much success running Pharo 7 under Linux as follows:

   1. Install pharo-launcher

   2. Start pharo-launcher

   3. Create an image for the Pharo 7 development release

   4. Start that image.

It crashes at startup, claiming that libgit2 is missing. There is,
however, a libgit2 located at

    $HOME/Pharo/vms/70-x64/lib/pharo/5.0-201806281256/libgit2.so

Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround?


Thanks in advance,

   Konrad.

Hi,

While it should not crash (just disable iceberg), it will be useful to know which kind of linux are you using.
There are too many around :)

It's Ubuntu 18.10. And it doesn't crash in the sense of crashing the VM,
there's just an error message that pops up when I start the image.
I didn't try to use that image after that, so perhaps it's just Iceberg
that is affected (bad enough, how can you work without Iceberg?).

I noticed something weird when inspecting the VM directory more closely:

   $ cd Pharo/vms/70-x64/lib/pharo/5.0-201806281256/
   $ ls -l libgit2*
   -rw-r--r-- 1 hinsen hinsen      13 déc.   9 10:54 libgit2.so
   -rw-r--r-- 1 hinsen hinsen 3019447 déc.   9 10:54 libgit2.so.0.25.1
   -rw-r--r-- 1 hinsen hinsen      17 déc.   9 10:54 libgit2.so.25
   $ cat libgit2.so
   libgit2.so.25$
   $ cat libgit2.so.25
   libgit2.so.0.25.1$

What I'd expect to be symbolic links (libgit2.so and libgit2.so.25) are
in fact text files containing another filename. I tried replacing them
by proper symlinks, but that doesn't change anything in the error
message.

Hi,

I recently installed 70 build  1384 under Mint 19. Seems to be working fine.

HTH, john
