Installing Magma and LPF in Pharo - smalltalk

I've been trying to install Magma in Pharo, but have had absolutely no luck. This is the stuff I've tried so far:
Installing with Monticello from squeaksource.com/MagmaTester -- Syntax error in MaObjectSerializer >> setUpClassDefinitionProcessing.
Installing from Universe -- the image hangs, apparently getting stuck in an infinite redirect loop while trying to hit installer.pbwiki.com/f/mc15.st.
Installing LPF directly with HTTPSocket httpFileIn: 'ftp.squeak.org/3.11/bob/LPF.st' -- I get a syntax error, because apparently one of the Installer files is in Unicode (or at least each character is unexpectedly double-wide).
Has anyone had any luck with this?

You will have more answers if you ask in Magma mailing list or even in Pharo, but not here.

"invalid version 0 on git_proxy_options" from libgit2: cause? fix? walk-around?

I'm getting this error "invalid version 0 on git_proxy_options" from libgit2. This did not happen until very recently (I have recompiled my code so it may be a version issue). I'm not using a proxy. Does anyone know anything about this? What causes this message? Is there anything I can do to stop the failure? Either a fix or or a work-around will do.
Specifically, I am using the Rust crate git2 version 0.13.23. I am doing a fetch that triggers the error. This is on Fedora 34 on x86_64. I have searched on this but there does not seem to be any matches that help.
git2 = {version="0.13.22", features = ["vendored-libgit2"]}
in Cargo.toml fixed the issue.
Interesting...
I had upgraded libgit2 to 1.3.0 from 1.1.1. That broke my existing cargo install, so I unpacked the previous libgit2.so.1.1 with a symlink to libgit2.so.1. That's when this error condition showed up. After thinking a bit I decided to symlink libgit2.so.1.3 to libgit2.so.1.1 and it built my new cargo version which linked to the new libgit2.so.1.3. Then I deleted my libgit2.so.1.1 stuff. Kinda weird, and usually you expect things not to work when it has been linked to a previous .so version.

MCP error - looking for minecraft main jar... not found

I'm trying to do my own Minecraft mod for a few months, but I'm in big trouble…
I want to install MCP for the mc Version 1.8.8, I already had 2 errors which I
could fix myself, but the 3rd error is impossible to find a solution for on the Internet.
So I already had the ScalaC not found error and the twitch error, but now I have the error: "Looking for minecraft main jar… not found".
I've found somebody on a Forum which had the same error, but nobody had a working solution.
It would be very nice if somebody could explain to me how to fix this.
Its okay. I too had the problem but found out that MCP just makes the Main jar file when its not there, read the codes. It should say :"Copying minecraft main jar... OK"

Library not loaded - ogr2ogr - topojson (Mike Bostock's d3.js map tutorial)

I'm trying to use ogr2ogr to filter a shapefile. I'm working through Mike Bostock's Let's Make a Map tutorial. A bit of googling - including here - hasn't led to any solutions yet. I'm also VERY new to topojson (and shapefiles in general; my background is in economics/statistical software like Stata), so I'm not sure what I'm doing and where things are going wrong. Either way - here's the error result I'm getting:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/liblwgeom-2.1.1.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/libspatialite/4.1.1/lib/libspatialite.5.dylib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
No idea what liblwgeom-2.1.1.dylib is, what it does, where I get it, etc. Google hasn't helped much on defining it either.
FWIW, I'm on a Mac, I brew installed npm and gdal, and then npm installed topojson.
Thanks,
a
Edited to add: I just brew reinstalled gdal, because I remembered getting a warning (Caveats). See below:
==> Caveats
For non-homebrew python (2.x), you need to amend your PYTHONPATH like so:
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
This version of GDAL was built with Python support. In addition to providing
modules that makes GDAL functions available to Python scripts, the Python
binding provides additional command line tools.
I actually tried to run export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH literally as-is, and it returned nothing. (Not sure if something happened in the background?) Basically fumbling in the dark!

AIX 7.1 missing Xm/Xm.h header

I've written a sample c file which includes Xm/Xm.h. When compile it, I have the following error, "fatal error: Xm/Xm.h: No such file or directory"
I'm using AIX 7.1. What package do I need to install to fix this problem and where can I find it? I was not able to find anything online regarding this issue. Thank you.
I just got the same error message.
You need to install (with installp on Aix):
either openmotif (and openmotif-dev)
or lesstif2-dev (smaller then openmotif, and can be enough)
(as mentioned in this answer)

Not getting TBB to compile test examples

I am not getting TBB to work. I am following the steps in the "Getting started" document.
I am doing the following steps:
downloading the linux files + the sources files.
extracting them in 1 directory
calling make
going to tbb.../bin calling source tbbvars.sh intel64
going to examples/Getting_started/sub_string_finder
calling make
I then get the error:
sub_string_finder.cpp:32:30: fatal error: tbb/parallel_for.h: No such file or directory
I really googled a lot but can't find any related stuff.
I did also try to add some -I statement but it didnt help
I assume it is kind of a including/linking problem but I dont know how to fix.
This is all done on fedora 16 64bit. (kernel 3.1.4) // TBB version 4.0
The solution was to install tbb-devel package.
