So it seems the good old ln -s /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4 (path to pharo)/pharo-vm/lib/pharo/(version)/libcurl-gnutls.so.4 still works after all, just not with Pharo Launcher VM (where it causes segfault). With regular VMs downloaded either manually or via the Launcher itself it works.
Too bad it makes Launcher unusable on both systems for both reasons (cannot hotfix launcher itself and have to hotfix all VMs it downloads). Jan -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
