Thanks a lot for this page. For fedora 12 i replaced all 586 with 686. Rest of it worked.

I tried the above steps on F10 but got like ‘No package libexif.i586 available.’ for the entire package list. I have F10-i386 DVD. Can I use the packages in it. How to go about it?

Thanks – this was just the trick to get the Android 32 bit SDK working on my 64bit Fedora install. (where I can’t just run yum .i586.

Thanks again!

I think what you want is a copy of centos the 64 bit version. CentOS is built from the source code of red Hat Enterprise. You can find that at centos.org.

Actually, I’m trying to get a copy of Linux Enterprises for my Quad-Core 64 bit AMD machine, Phenom 9750. I run XP Pro/64 Commercial Client now and I think I need more stability.

Thank you,

While it may be true you can simply do “yum install .i586″ for an RPM package, this list is useful for programs NOT packaged as an RPM. I know it’s hard to believe there are actually things not included as an rpm, but there are! I found this very useful for installing SecondLife on F11 x86_64, for example, although it missed the audio components for some odd reason.

Yeh, complicated stuff, but in practice most of the job is made by glibc!!! (Which is not listed!!! in the amazingly long list)
glibc goes togeher with nss-softokn-freebl
And, be careful: you cannot install glibc.i586 on a 64 system. Instead you want glibc.i686 which does the job.
Godd luck, Alex
