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.

I run 32 bit code in a Debian 686 Gnome box installed on a 64 bit Fedora
desktop.

You can check which needed files are missing for vm-display-X11.so with:

$ ldd vm-display-X11.so

and search for packages that have these files at
https://packages.ubuntu.com/

Also, ensure that you have added the i386 architecture and installed
i386 versions of multiarch-support, libx11-6 and libglu1-mesa libraries
E.g.

$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install multiarch-support
$ sudo apt-get install libx11-6:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386

Sorry, I have been away from this scene for several years but returning for
a fresh look. Especially interested in running Squeak on portal computers,
including tablets. Is anyone working on an Android port? How about battery
life? I was running Squeak on a Sony tablet PC around the time Win 7 came
out, and battery life was very short.

Appreciate your suggestions and looking forward to more interaction. The
link below is to my old but still up web site. Yes, it needs renovation.
