Subbu - I didn’t understand your point? How would I know to do pharo -- --list , by looking at the output of —help? (And in fact that doesn’t work on OSX, it prompts me for an image - thus reinforcing my point that the default image doesn’t appear to work, at least not in osx). I swear a year o

Did we ever get the bottom of installing Pharo on linux? I have a user on Arch linux who installed pharo from AUR (this is new stuff to me) - and once they downloaded an image - they now get an error that looks suspiciously like this libgit2 debacle - so I’m wondering what the solution was? The

Hi Tim, Looking at the resolution of the libgit library, I see that in pharo7 the following: LGitLibrary >> unixModuleName | pluginDir | pluginDir := Smalltalk vm binary parent. #('libgit2.so' 'libgit2.so.0') detect: [ :each | (pluginDir / each) exists ] ifFound: [ :libName | ^ libName ]. self e

Hi Guille - I’m not using Arch Linux myself - this was a seasoned exercism contributor trying to give pharo a spin - and sadly it hasn’t gone well (shame as they might have been an advocate) They also commented: "I'm not quite sure though if I really want to continue from here. As someone new t

Actually - the user has confirmed a bit more (which sounds like your hunch Guille): Hmm… Just loading the image without `eval`ing something seems to boot up well. But then I also realise, that there is a warning: ```ioLoadModule(/opt/pharo/bin/../lib/pharo/5.0-201901231209/libgit2.so): libcur

This has been bugging me for a long time - but its incredibly annoying that when you right click on a class, package, Iceberg entry - that the context menu doesn’t often appear. You have to click again (or remember to click first and then right click - even if the reverent item is already highli

Guille - it looks like modifying that method and : "I installed some other package (`libcurl-gnutls`) which is an "addon" to the regular `libcurl`.” Got us further - now he’s getting IceAuthenticationError- which could be down to git vs https. (I can use the #remoteTypeSelector: trick to hopeful

Thanks, but I will revert to Pharo 5.0 (pre spur VM) again... until the problems with 7.x are solved... or 8 is really stable. I was regularly telling colleagues with whom I converse on Twitter (e.g. Swift, C# and other programmers) that they should try Smalltalk, especially Pharo, to see for th

Oh well - even after modifying that method and trying the remoteTypeSelector: trick it insists on giving the iceAuthenticationError - so maybe the libcurl2 install didn’t work (he said he had to install "libcurl-gnutls” to get that far). Interestingly - my osx setup has suddenly starting giving
