In my Debian GNU/Linux 5 (lenny) amd64 I always used the squeak vm installed from the Debian repos. That vm was already for 64 bits (I didn't had ia32-libs installed) and everything worked ok. Maybe another option would be to ask José Luis Redrejo to rebuild a vm for amd64 and: 1. upload it to debian/ubuntu repos to cover the users that use that OSes, they only had to download an image and not the vm. 2. upload it to the squeak and pharo sites and put a link to download a vm for x86 and other for amd64. 3. Generate two zips, one for ia32 and other for amd64 and the user selects the correct one. 4. put the message that you propose in the zip as a fallback. What do you think? _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
