Note I also was looking for the location of libuuid.s0.1 and could not find it,  I downloaded a version and created a softlink in /usr/lib and got a different errot (see below):

I am pretty sure (will check this afternoon) that I have a 5.0 running on my Ubuntu 12.04 elsewhere, but believe that may be the 32 bit version and this machine is the 64 bit version.

It's weird that you get an error loading libuuid.so.1 then, if it is installed. The other weird thing is the pulse audio error. Is LD_PRELOAD set on your system? Try "echo $LD_PRELOAD".

We can also check if the VM runs on its own - that would mean the problem is in the Etoys script. E.g.:

bert@ubuntu12-VirtualBox:~/Downloads/Etoys-To-Go 5.0.1.app$ Contents/Linux-i686/etoys -version

4.0.3-2202 #1 XShm Tue Apr 13 11:56:47 PDT 2010 gcc 4.3.2
Linux vps2.piumarta.com 2.6.18-028stab053.10-ent #1 SMP Thu Feb 28 20:34:08 MSK 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

And if that fails, what does ldd report? E.g.:

bert@ubuntu12-VirtualBox:~/Downloads/Etoys-To-Go 5.0.1.app$ ldd Contents/Linux-i686/etoys
linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb776b000)

libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xb7723000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnsl.so.1 (0xb7708000)
libuuid.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libuuid.so.1 (0xb7702000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb755d000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb776c000)

Thanks!

Tried installing said "already newest version" and no luck.  Will see if I can try on another machine later today.

Weird. Works fine for me:

Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-24-generic-pae i686)

But it's possible that my system is not clean.

Could you try again after installing libuuid1:

sudo apt-get install libuuid1

I also tried 4.1.1 and that had the same issue.

When I installed Etoys via Ubuntu Software Center, I got 4.0 and that works.
