I tried using the pre-compiled VM from the Pharo website to no avail. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but when running the pre-compiled Pharo VM, OR the pre-compiled Squeak 3.10-6 VM, they just quit with a "File not found" error. ?My only hunch regarding this is that they were compiled on 32bit Linuxes, and I'm using a 64bit Linux.
A likely guess is that some 32-bit library needs to be installed on the Linux system in question. The Squeak 3.10-6 VM runs fine on my 64bit SuSE laptop.
I'm using a bare-bones install of Ubuntu server, 8.04LTS 64bit. ?I'm using Slicehost.com for a virtual server to run a Seaside application (they use all 64bit *NIXs), and I'm switching from vanilla Squeak 3.9 to Pharo.
So, since the Squeak 3.10-6 VM didn't work either I decided to compile my own VM. ?This does not work out of the box on a vanilla Ubuntu Server 8.04 install, so here are the steps I took to successfully compile the VM from the 3.10-6 src files:
(cd /Squeak-3.10-6/platforms/unix)
Configure: ./config/configure --without-x --without-gl --without-quartz --without-npsqueak
NOTE: The configure command adds 2 entries to disable the RomePlugin. It looks like it first tests Freetype (not installed so adds an entry to disable RomePlugin), and then tests Cairo (not installed, so adds *another* entry to disable RomePlugin). ?I believe the autoconf files need to be fixed for this, but I leave it up to the squeak-dev folks to figure that out as I have no knowledge of autoconf.
Make: make squeak ?(this will error)
To fix the damage from the note above, I had to remove the duplicate entry for RomePlugin_exports on line 22 of disabledPlugins.c.
Thats a problem of some sort in configure, but note also that RomePlugin will not work on 64-bit systems (Mantis 7344).
