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.
