OK … i think ive got it… when the console tells me that there is another app trying to start and it shows me the file with somekind of a number
I just open that file and change that number…
Also ive tried commenting the file /op/lampp/lampp the part that says that xampp only works on 32 bit… bla bla bla, and it seems to work, but at the end it tells me that I need 32 libraries…
Doing a file with all the libs you put in here dosnt work for me… console says “XXX librari doesnt exist”
what should I do??

Hello there my friend
I want to ask you something… Here is my problem
I need to install xampp in a fedora 13 in a 64 bits server. When I try to do the things like you say in here:
# for i in $(< Fedora-ia32.txt ); do yum -y install $i; done
"It tells me that there is another app has hold the yum blocked, waiting to exit. The Other app is YUM"

This message also appears if I try like someone said here in your comments: "yum install .i586"

Can you please help me??

It works. I stumbled upon this blog while trouble shooting android sdk plugin for eclipse on Fedora 13. After running the script,(changed 586 to 686) adb in tools did find the ld-linux.so.2 file in /lib folder.. so great

From Fedora 13 it’s i686

One liner to do this. It will install all i586 packages (not just libs) for the packages you already have installed. I could tidy/speed it up with an additional awk script to see if an i586 package for the installed rpm already exists, but it works if your patient.

yum list installed | sed -e ‘s/\..*//’ |awk ‘{ print $1 “.i586″ }’ | xargs yum install

Very nice doc. Took me a while to realize that I need to change the i586 to i686. As it was stated this works for Fedora 12. It also now works for Fedora 13 which just released. Verified on my 64-bit system. Script is running now.
Thanks again!

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