Does anyway know how to get FireStorm running in 12.1 ?
here is my output…

You are running the Firestorm Viewer on a x86_64 platform.  The
most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly
'bin/do-not-directly-run-firestorm-bin: not found' and 'error while
loading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux
distribution's 32-bit compatibility packages.
For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl

Any help appreciated !
I think I just need 32bit support installed but I have no idea how to do this in OS…

No idea, but installing 32-bit packages is easy if you know what you need. Just search for what you need and install the corresponding ‘-32bit’ package. The one complained about, libGLU.so.1: libglu1-32bit

I solved this issue by installing Dolphin Viewer 3, they are very intelligent and prepared a “One Click” install that makes 32bit files get installed, and after running it I was able to run FireStorm.
