Hello Alistair

The 64bit download

curl get.pharo.org/64/61+vm | bash

did the the job. Thank you.

I got to the script I used through

http://pharo.org/news/pharo6.1-released

(Link from the main page -- http://pharo.org/web !, Read more about here)

and I thought it is a kind of generic script whereas it only downloads the 32 bit version.

Hello

I'd like to install Pharo 6.1 in a new installation of

Ubuntu 18.04.1 Bionic Beaver [1]

I get a message

./pharo-ui Error. Could not determine platform's libc path for VM. Try forcing $PLATFORMLIBDIR in /home/user25/pharo6.1/pharo-vm/pharo, based on LIBC_SO. [2]

Ubuntu 18.04.1 Bionic Beaver is a new installation. The only added sw is the Python anaconda distribution. https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux

Suggestions how fix this issue are welcome.

Regards Hannes

wget -O- get.pharo.org | bash

You may need to (re)install the 32-bit libraries.

As it says, it looks like you don't have the 32 bit libraries installed (I assume you're on 64 bit Ubuntu).

Do you really need 32 bit pharo?

How about:

curl get.pharo.org/64/61+vm | bash

HTH, Alistair
