Cent0S 6.5 (and others) cannot use latest VM from get.pharo.org because of different glibc version. Fedora, Debian, OpenSuSE, Mint, CentOS, even older Ubuntus... after going throught the list of available distros and installing every one of them, I was left with two choices for setting up Pharo in my VPS: Gentoo and the latest Ubuntu. I did not want to install Ubuntu in the first place because of their policy of "latest of some things, and obsolete versions of something else" which has bitten me time and again. But I did install it, because I had even less interest in maintaning a remote gentoo. So you have to compile the VM on your own. This is a (probably incomplete) set of the packages you will need for this task on 64-bit system: Wouldn´t it be better for everyone to have Pharo compiled against an "older" Glibc, for example, debian´s one, so it can run on more distributions than "latest ubuntu"? From my point of view, asking people to compile their own VMs doesn´t seem to foster usability. Cheers, Sergi Would statically linking Linux PharoVM against optimal 32-bit glibc make things easier for users? What would be the file size penalty and are there other issues to consider?   File size is less of an issue than it used to be. cheers -ben
