as an update - the issue is not specific to debian and it is not clear that the problem lies in gnu-smalltalk - the same versions of gst-browser run fine on some distros but not on others
================ SUMMARY ================ * gst-browser fails to launch on debian, ubuntu - neither from binary packages nor compiled from git source * gst-browser runs as expected on parabola from the both binary packages and compiled from git source * gst-browser fails to launch on fedora from binary package but runs as expected when compiled from git source * gst-browser runs as expected on opensuse from (un-maintained) binary packages but fails to launch when compiled from git source * the REPL appears to be working correctly in all cases versions<->platforms tested: * debian 8 stable - fail - 'gnu-smalltalk' binary package v3.2.4 * debian 8 testing - fail - 'gnu-smalltalk' binary package v3.2.5 * debian 8 testing - fail - git source v3.2.92 * parabola - pass - 'smalltalk' binary package v3.2.92 * parabola - pass - git source v3.2.92 * fedora 24 - fail - 'gnu-smalltalk' binary package v3.2.5 * fedora 24 - pass - git source v3.2.92 * ubuntu 16.04 - fail - 'gnu-smalltalk' binary package v3.2.5 * ubuntu 16.04 - fail - git source v3.2.92 * opensuse tumbleweed - pass - 'smalltalk' binary package v3.2.5 * opensuse tumbleweed - fail - git source v3.2.92 details in this gist --> https://gist.github.com/bill-auger/7658fff47b7ba5ac65dfc3e5e74b1e6a _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list help-smalltalk@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk
