Pharo is still 32bits… now, I’m working on this and it should be ready in a couple of months, but for now you are more or less restricted to two options: 1) install 32bits dependences 2) use the *very experimental* 64bits image along with Eliot 64bits spur, who should be this one: http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/latest/cogspur64linux-16.21.3732.tgz <http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/latest/cogspur64linux-16.21.3732.tgz> > Thanks, Petr Fischer > cheers!
