Any way to run a AMD64 package in X86_32 Debian Gnu/Linux? Thanks in

It is not possible to execute it natively, but you can run it at degraded performance inside an emulator like Bochs or QEMU.

Maybe you want to run a proprietary software package that is distributed only in binary form. I do NOT support this. Proprietary software is bad for its users and society in general; your problem is an example of why: It takes control of the user computing and puts it in the hands of the developer. Users are subject to whatever features or antifeatures the developer puts in his software. With free software, you can easily compile a version for not only x86 but almost all modern architectures (except for a minority of software that needs porting, but that would likely, though not necessarily, be because it is broken by depending on architecture-specific behavior).

Regards.
