Laurent,

The tests fail loudly, but that appears to be a known problem, and they can 
fail with FFI working (save doubles).  Maybe the problem John mentions is 
behind the library loading troubles??

Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Linux vm: assertions and strategy

I'm totally noob on FFI. Maybe the vm-dev mailing list is more appropriate ?  
It seems there's actually some problems with it 
http://n4.nabble.com/forum/Search.jtp?tpl=search-page&node=104410&query=ffi

On my machine, 20/21 FFI unit tests fails...

I haven't been able to build last revision of squeak-vm trunk.

Laurent, all,

If I may jump to conclusions a little, the 3.11-3 vm's changes break the 
loading of libraries, certainly to the point of being arkane.  Beyond that, 
LinuxODBC is transparent to it, so I am left wondering how it is suppose to 
work at all??

The RC3 one-click image and vm produce very nice fonts on my Ubuntu laptop, but 
it retains the FFI/double defect, and from the naming of the plugins, must be 
based on a pre 3.11-3 vm.

Is the plan to use 3.11-3 for the one-click?  If so, we need to do something 
about external libraries; at a minimum, LinuxODBC should work, whether by fully 
understanding how to use environment variables, or (as I suspect) getting the 
dlopen() call to work again.

Another option is to identify the FPU related fixes and apply them to the 
current one-click vm.

Any preferences?  Any success with 3.11-3 and LinuxODBC?  I'd be happy to be 
wrong about this.

Bill
