GNU Smalltalk 2.2 package for Debian and Ubuntu

I linked to this in another post, but I realized that a lot of people might not notice it at the bottom of a long post, so I thought I’d break it out into a separate post.

gnu-smalltalk-2.2-1_i386.deb

This 2.2 version that I built from the source last night is a lot newer than the 2.1.8 version that is in the Ubuntu repositories. Also I was able to use BloxTk (graphical browswer, workspace, etc.) with this, which was not working for me with the Ubuntu version.

Cincom support: impressive

OK, now I am really impressed with Cincom.

First, my friend Chris Smith has trouble installing on Gentoo and somebody from Cincom sees it on his blog and responds immediately. The issue turns out not be with Cincom but with Gentoo’s glibc.

Now I post on my blog about a small problem with the installer and how to work around it and James Robertson from Cincom notices it and posts about it right away.

Very nice. Very impressive in an age where most companies don’t seem to care about supporting their products.

Bravo, Cincom.
