I am able to run Squeak 5.2 (64 bit) on 64 bit Debian 10
but when I try to run Squeak 5.2 (32 bit) I get the following error:
~/Downloads/Squeak5.2-32/Squeak5.2-18229-32bit-201810190412-Linux$ squeak.sh
Using /home/rocky/Downloads/Squeak5.2-32/Squeak5.2-18229-32bit-201810190412-Linux/bin/squeak...
could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either:
- check that /home/rocky/Downloads/Squeak5.2-32/Squeak5.2-18229-32bit-201810190412-Linux/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
My assumption is that some 32 bit libraries are missing but that's only a guess.
If my assumption is correct can anybody tell me what libraries I need?
I think it's a red herring but it is noteworthy that there is a double
slash ('//')
immediately before the 'vm-display-X11.so exists ... in the error message.
I assume this is just a typo by the person who created the error message.
I tried the -plugins advice but it didn't seem to work. Perhaps I did it wrong.
When I ran Squeak 5.2 32 bit on Debian 9 (32 bit) it ran fine.
Any advice on how to resolve this problem much appreciated.
I can provide any additional information requested.
