no I was not aware that it could not be done, worked fine for Macos (I am mostly a mac developer which is what I use at home, I use pcs only at work) so I assumed the same applied for Ubuntu

I installed the package , still its unable to run it. Getting the same error

I used the second answer to this question as a guide to install the package --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/107230/what-happened-to-the-ia32-libs-package

If you get that error, try:

sudo apt-get update

Then try it again:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs"

I just did a fresh install of 12.04, that package is still available in the repositories. In fact, I got that error myself before I ran update. Afterwards, it worked fine.

Have you loaded the ia32-libs package ? Are you on 12.10 64bits ?

Pharo is a 32bits application; it doesn't run as-is on a 64 bits linux
install.
