[GemStone-Smalltalk] newbie question

[Dale Henrichs]

Hello emeka,

The error message you are seeing is the result of an 'External module 
not found' in the Pharo client vm, when it is trying to load the library 
libgcirpc-3.4.3-32.so. More often than not, that message comes up when 
the target library is missing (thus the suggestions). In your case 
something a bit more mysterious is going on and it has to do with Pharo 
not being able to load the gci file. for some other reason that the file 
not being present...

Here's a full listing of the pharo-vm directory in my tode client for 3.4.3:

    rogue:pharo-vm>ls -altr *3.4.3*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 dhenrich smalltalk       21 Feb  6  2019 libgcirpc-3.4.3_e-32.so -> libgcirpc-3.4.3-32.so
    -r-xr-xr-x 1 dhenrich smalltalk   203569 Feb  8  2019 libgbjgci313-3.4.3-32.so
    -r-xr-xr-x 1 dhenrich smalltalk  4593429 Feb  8  2019 libfloss-3.4.3-32.so
    -r-xr-xr-x 1 dhenrich smalltalk 10126159 Feb  8  2019 libgcirpc-3.4.3-32.so
    -r-xr-xr-x 1 dhenrich smalltalk  9032014 Feb  8  2019 libgcits-3.4.3-32.so

If you look at the full listing in your directory, the file sizes should 
all match...

As a secondary check, here is the listing of the product directory where 
the files should have been copied from:

    rogue:_home>ls -l $GS_HOME/shared/downloads/products/*3.4.3*/lib32
    /home/dhenrich/rogue/_homes/rogue/_home/shared/downloads/products/GemStone64Bit3.4.3-x86_64.Linux/lib32:
    total 23464
    -rw-r--r-- 1 dhenrich smalltalk    55305 Dec 11  2018 gcirtlobj.o
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 dhenrich smalltalk  4593429 Dec 11  2018 libfloss-3.4.3-32.so
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 dhenrich smalltalk   203569 Dec 11  2018 libgbjgci313-3.4.3-32.so
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 dhenrich smalltalk 10126159 Dec 11  2018 libgcirpc-3.4.3-32.so
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 dhenrich smalltalk  9032014 Dec 11  2018 libgcits-3.4.3-32.so
    drwxr-xr-x 2 dhenrich smalltalk     4096 Dec 11  2018 slow

So a listing of your product directory would also be useful for 
comparison ... and we'll move forward from there.
