Hi! I wanted to try GNU Smalltalk and ran into the same problem as Torbjörn Wejheden about a year ago. It seems, that with several popular Linux distributions you currently are getting crashes, when trying to start the gst-browser. see: https://gist.github.com/bill-auger/7658fff47b7ba5ac65dfc3e5e74b1e6a I tried to build it from source myself and after fiddling for several hours I finally got it working. I'm on Fedora 27 and after a fresh install this gave me a working build: ----------------------- sudo dnf install gcc git automake bison flex libtool libtool-ltdl-devel libffi-devel libsigsegv-devel cairo-devel gtk2-devel texinfo git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/smalltalk.git cd smalltalk autoreconf -vi ./configure make sudo make install ----------------------- If you install the "gnu-smalltalk" package from the Fedora repository, gst-browser has it's first fail in: GTK.GtkWindow class>>new: (GTK.star#VFS.ZipFile/Funcs.st:1) because of: Invalid C call-out gtk_window_new gtk_window_new is being exported by libgtk-x11-2.0.so (but also by: libgtk-3.so). Digging a bit further, I found that the module "gst-gtk-3.2.92.so" is linked against "libgtk-x11-2.0.so", which is (now?) only provided by package: gtk2-devel. I don't know, who is responsible for maintaining the packages, but adding gtk2-devel as dependency should fix the problem for now. Anybody already tried to build against GTK3? libgtk-3.so seems to be available with standard GTK packages.
