Hi,

So now I have the answer to Raspberry and Squeak out of the box.

32 Bit version is installed by default.

$ squeak -version

5.0-202101191919  Wed 20 Jan 2021 08:38:27 PM PST gcc 8 [Production
Spur VM]

On the 64 bit one just does not quite work.  You can apt install
squeakvm but it doesn't really work.

printf too old, using shell-quote (CPAN String::ShellQuote) instead

found gettext in /bin

This interpreter (vers. 0) cannot read image file (vers. 68021).

Press CR to quit...^C

This is with a quite recent 64 it Squeak 6 image.

The flags like -version don't do anything except tell you that there
is no image -version.

cheers
