Using Linux requires certain skills/knowledge, this has nothing to do with Pharo or Smalltalk.
To run 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit system you need 32-bit libraries. This might help (although maybe it is not totally up to date for Pharo 7) https://github.com/svenvc/pharo-server-tools/blob/master/ubuntu-32bit-support-on-64bit.sh You can check the dependencies of binaries and dynamic libraries with ldd. They have to be resolved correctly. $ uname -a Linux sigfox-1 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:33:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ file bin/pharo-vm/pharo bin/pharo-vm/pharo: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=dcf3b690e793d6960e1dbccd36bd0b3938019471, not stripped $ ldd bin/pharo-vm/pharo linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7730000) libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xf76d2000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xf76cd000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xf76b0000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf74fa000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x565fe000) pharo and pharo-ui are just scripts I would also strongly recommend not using native (FFI) libraries (at first). You must also understand the difference between a UI based and headless system. > On 22 Nov 2018, at 16:21, horrido <horrido.hobb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm running 64-bit Debian in a VirtualBox image on my Mac. > > When I install 64-bit Pharo, it works fine.
