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.

I try to double click the Pharo-1.4-one-click.sh , even after going to properties and enabling allow excuting file as programm does nothing. And running from terminal prints the following

exloupis@ephestos:~/Downloads/Pharo-1.4-one-click.app$ sudo ./Pharo-1.4-one-click.sh ./Pharo-1.4-one-click.sh: line 26: /home/exloupis/Downloads/Pharo-1.4-one-click.app/Contents/Linux/pharo: Permission denied ./Pharo-1.4-one-click.sh: line 26: exec: /home/exloupis/Downloads/Pharo-1.4-one-click.app/Contents/Linux/pharo: cannot execute: Permission denied

Any idea why ?

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.
