Pharo5.0 crashing on Ubuntu14.04

Hey

I have been treing to create a new Pharo 5.0 image and it seems to crash giving the error "This interpreter (vers. 6505) cannot read image file (vers. 6521)." I am using PharoLauncher on Ubuntu 14.04 to manage Pharo images.

Help appreciated :)

Hi,

I think you are launching a Spur image with a non-spur VM.

In Pharo 5 there was the introduction of a new memory management and
garbage collector called SPUR. This caused a non-backward compatible
change to the VM.

To launch your Pharo 5 image with Pharo launcher you need the last
version of Pharo launcher. Then you can download the Spur vm here:
http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo-spur32/. And you can point to the
downloaded VM in the PharoLauncher settings.
