Running 32 bit apps in a 64 bit Linux will only work if the various things the app depends on are either also 32 bit or have 32 bit compatibility libraries. You cannot simply fire up a 64 bit parent application and expect 32 bit sub components to "just work". There is a 64 bit version of Lightning (Linux) available here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/releases/lightning1.0b1.html#linux-x86-64-builds which is the current release.
