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).
