Oneiric gone bad

Jeff Gray
Just updated Ubuntu and now Pharo doesn't run.
I have been working ok under Oneiric but then after getting the latest update Pharo no longer runs.
If I drop into the terminal and try to fire up the VM I get the following:

jeff@Roger:/usr/local/lib/cogvm$ ./squeakvm
could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either:
  - check that /usr/local/lib/cogvm//vm-display-X11.so exists, or
  - use the '-plugins <path>' option to tell me where it is, or
  - remove DISPLAY from your environment.
Aborted

Any ideas?

Install the 32 bits library.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Tell me if it works.

also need this one now in oneiric:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch:386


As least, on a clean install I did. And assuming you're using the 64-bit version.  If you're using the 32-bit version I don't know what to try.

This error message is misleading and should be fixed.
The driver vm-display-X11 is a dynamic library, which is shipped by
default with VM,
there is _no way_ how VM could not find it.
The problem is that this library depending on another libraries in
system which could be missing,
and because of that, when VM attempts to load it, OS reports an error,
and then VM says that its unable to find the driver,
while actually it is unable to load it.

You guys rock! I spent about 90 mins searching on the web this morning and only found vague hints that didn't make much sense.
Post the question on here, have a shower, drive to work, read the answers, fire up the package manager, select the libs, press 'apply', run Pharo. Job done.
Oeniric gone  good :-)
Thank you both.
