[squeak-dev] How to switch vm's

I need to go back to the 3.10-4 vm to do some profiling. I have two
VM's installed on my Ubuntu server linux box; 3.10-4 and the new
4.0.3-2202.
Before, I used to just have a soft-link named /usr/local/bin/squeak
pointing to /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.10-4/squeak, and that is how I
would switch VM's; by repointing the soft link.
However, the new vm creates a binary file named /usr/local/bin/squeak
which, performs some Linux magic of which I am not familiar.
To attempt to switch back to the old vm, I renamed
/usr/local/bin/squeak to /usr/local/bin/squeak.renamed and
/usr/local/bin/squeak.sh to /usr/local/bin/squeak.sh.renamed.
BTW, what is squeak.sh?
I then created a softlink to the old executable:
ln -s ../lib/squeak/3.10-4/squeak squeak
Unfortunately, when trying to launch the vm:
squeak -version
I get:
SQUEAK_ENCODING='UTF8'
SQUEAK_PATHENC='UTF8'
+exec: 1: : Permission denied
I really need to switch VM's (temporarily). Any assistance is greatly
appreciated.
