I have Debian 12 (64 bit) installed on my laptop and Debian 11 (32 bit) on my desktop. I run squeak 5.3 on my desktop and want to run 5.3 (32 bit) on my laptop til I have everything moved over to squeak 6.0. But 5.3 wont run on my laptop.
When I run squeak.sh I get:
squeak.sh rocky@M33:~/Smalltalk/Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86$ squeak.sh Using /home/rocky/Smalltalk/Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86/bin/squeak ... vm-display-X11 tryLoading /home/rocky/Smalltalk/Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86/bin/vm-display-X11.so: dlopen: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either: - check that /home/rocky/Smalltalk/Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86/bin//vm-display-X11.so exists, or - use the '-plugins <path>' option to tell me where it is, or - remove DISPLAY from your environment. Aborted rocky@M33:~/Smalltalk/Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86$ cd bin rocky@M33:~/Smalltalk/Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86/bin$ ls vm-display-X* vm-display-X11.so
My understanding is that 32 bit software should run on 64 bit hardware. Is there something I need to do to ensure that this is the case?
I tried installing libraries libXrender (already installed) and libXrender-dev but it didn't help .
Any help much appreciated.

It may be that you are just missing the 32-bit libXrender library, which is the one that the 32-bit VM would be looking for. Something like this may do the trick:
sudo apt-get isntall libxrender-dev:i386

Yes. You need to install multiarch support.
It's been a while since I did this on my system, but I think the Debian Multiarch Howto:
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO
will tell you everything you need to know. I needed to install Multiarch to run Squeak 4.3. As I recall it was amazingly straightforward.
