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 error is: External module not found ExternalLibraryFunction(Object)>>error: ExternalLibraryFunction(Object)>>externalCallFailed ExternalLibraryFunction(ExternalFunction)>>invokeWithArguments: LGitLibrary>>libgit2_init FFICalloutAPI>>function:module: LGitLibrary(Object)>>ffiCall: LGitLibrary>>libgit2_init [ self libgit2_init. self recordInitializationSuccess ] in LGitLibrary>>initializeLibGit2 in Block: [ self libgit2_init....
