You have a few solutions solutions:

1/ try this http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo/linux/old-libc/pharovm-ubuntu804.tar.gz
2/ try the .deb file for Ubuntu that is closest to your distribution:
https://launchpad.net/~pharo/+archive/unstable/+packages
3/ create a .deb file yourself using the deb generator scripts I
wrote: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-ubuntu/tree/master/pharo-vm-core-i386
(as soon as it is compiled, it will work fine on 64 bits
architectures)
4/ use the nix package manager that already has a package for Pharo:
http://nixos.org/nix/manual/. Nix can very easily be installed on any
Unix system including Debian and Mac OSX
