Hi All, Fyi- the Pharo default collection of downloaded files for MacOS does not work (starts up with blank screen and remains as such) on MacOS Sierra. On another Mac with the previous OS (El Capitan) the default download works. Kind regards, Hari

That's it! But it isn't as simple as that Here's what I did. I have pharo5 directory, unzipped from the Pharo download page (GNU/Linux w. libc < 2.15). I then took the VM Bernardo pointed me to and copy that VM into my pharo5/bin.
That Pharo download (GNU/Linux w. libc <2.15) has shared/Pharo5.0.image along with shared/PharoV40.sources
Next I grabbed the PharoV50.sources as Clement instructed. First I tried to put it in shared/, because that's where PharoV40.sources is, even tough Clement said to put it in the same folder as the VM.
Then I tried to run it, calling pharo binary or the wrapper. Here's what I found: 1. pharo keeps looking for PharoV40.sources, looking in bin/ first (the VM directory) and next in shared/
2. If the source file is in shared/, making PharoV40.sources a sym link to PharoV50.sources, still gives me the same error.
3. However, if the source files is in bin/, making PharoV40.sources a sym link to PharoV50.sources does not give me the error. Success!
4. For additional experiment, I took Pharo5.0.image from Windows download, and put it in shared/ (along with the changes file). It picks up PharoV50.sources in either bin/ or shared/. I removed PharoV40.sources in both places and still works fine.
5. I remove PharoV50.sources in bin/ and shared/, so now I don't have any sources file. Using Pharo5.0.image from Windows, I got notification pharo can't find PharoV50.sources file, yet, I don't get that MessageNotUnderstood error.
I think the image version is different in Windows and Linux download. The image from Windows download starts with a welcome window. The image from Linux download doesn't. I don't know how to check the image version.
I can now run pharo5 and I'm happy. The Linux download needs updated VM and image, I think.

Hello
What you describe (arg1 instead of string) means the source file is not present. Sources are required for some FFI calls. Take the PharoV50.sources file (you can find it here http://files.pharo.org/sources/) and put it in the same folder as your VM. It should solve the problem.
Best,
Clement

Thanks, Bernardo. That fogbugz case is exactly the problem I'm having.
This VM (pharo-vm-spur-swing.zip) is able to open Pharo 5.0 image from Pharo download page. This is a good sign.
Upon opening the image, I am, however, presented immediately with 'MessageNotUnderstood: receiver of "/" is nil'. It's coming from SystemSettingsPersistence class >> defaultPreferenceFileReference
It boils down to OSEnvironment#getEnv: 'HOME'
a failure in building an FFI call. The FFI call function signature is #( String getenv (String string) )
The context object built from OSEnvironment#getEnv: gives answer 'arg1', instead of 'string', to a call to #method#argumentNames. Down the road, an IRMethod instance is trying to find the index for 'string' and can't find any, because what is stored is 'arg1'.
I'm out of my depth at this point, and this is a separate issue than not being able to start the image. I have to think where I want to go from here.
So, thank you for all of you, for the exceedingly quick and friendly help.
Cheers!

Hold on,
There's also this issue https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17353/build-spur-vm-for-de bian-old-libc
where in one comment jan.vrany recommended his build
https://swing.fit.cvut.cz/jenkins/job/pharo-vm-spur-swing/
https://swing.fit.cvut.cz/jenkins/view/All/job/pharo-vm-spur -swing/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/pharo-vm-spur-swing.zip
that i have used in debian wheezy with the old libc for quite a while. i don't use it anymore because im in jessie.

Thank you for the impressive quick response. Unfortunately, I have older glibc. So now I'm struggling with compiling glibc 2.15 for 32 bit on my 64 bit CentOS 6.5 machine. Not an easy thing to do.
I'll try those VMs once I succeed in building this glibc

this http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo-spur32/linux/latest.zip
works pretty well in Debian GNU/Linux 8 Jessie

Thanks for reporting the problem.
The error means the VM is incompatible with the image. There was a change of image format in Pharo 5, so the package has likely an old VM while the image has the new format, or the new VM while the image has the old format.
Someone will look into that problem in the incoming weeks. Most Pharo maintainers are on Mac, we noticed recently that other OS were not maintained carefully enough (We're sorry about that) and we're trying to solve that problem.
Meantime....
Can you try the latest VM from here (latest.zip): http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo-spur32/linux/
Or if still failing, the latest VM from here (latest.zip): http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo/linux/
One of these two VMs should work. Please tell me which one worked if you try.
Thanks & Regards
Clement

i already submitted a similar issue https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/18221/This-interpreter-ver s-6505-cannot-read-image-file-vers-6521
check it and see if it is the same

I'm on CentOS 6.5 and I downloaded Pharo 5 for GNU/Linux w. libc < 2.15 and for CentOS. Both won't start (I have no problem with Windows version):
$ pharo This interpreter (vers. 6505) cannot read image file (vers. 6521). Press CR to quit...
I'm unable to find report or information about this issue on the web. I think it was like this ~2 months ago as well. Is this a known issue?
First time posting question in this mailing list, so I beg your pardon if I break any mailing list rule.
