I thought you referred to RedHat Linux 6 which was released in 1999 but you are referring to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). As it turns out we have "latest" (as soon as a commit is made to pharo- vm.git) and hand curated "stable" (hand created source tarballs, rebuilt from a git commit of opensmalltalk-vm) for RHEL6 and CentOS 6. CentOS 6.x: # Add the repo $ yum-config-manager --add-repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositori es/devel:/languages:/pharo:/latest/CentOS_6/devel:languages:pharo:lates t.repo OR (for stable): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/pharo:/late st/CentOS_6/devel:languages:pharo:stable.repo # Install 32bit packages (with X11 dependency for *-ui or not) $ yum install pharo6-32-ui.i686 or pharo6-32.i386 # Install 64bit packages $ yum install pharo6-64-ui.x86_64 pharo6-64.x86_64
