Installing 32bit libs on x86_64bit installed fedora
Hi,
trying to find out the yum install to get 32bit libs installed, this is on a fedora9 x86_64 searched and found nothing specific to fedora and using yum.... the only i386 libs installed is libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386 ncurses-libs-5.6-16.20080301.fc9.i386 hunspell-1.2.1-6.fc9.i386 libgcc-4.3.0-8.i386 I need more,lets say all 32bit libs.... yum doesn't know about multilib....... i thought maybe if i could do something like yum install firefox.i386 and the dependencies should get the libs i'm after... but theres no firefox.i386 package..... maybe its called something else? any ideas ? thanks |

A quick search found this - FC6 but might shed some light. |
I did find that page...but its dated April 2007, probably why tips in there didn't work for me....thanks anyway
but guess what ? I just discovered that yum does wildcards !! and this is what helped, yum install libX11.386 yum install libXext.i386 yum install *libc.i386 this has now fixed vmware's error: Failed to connect to pipe because some of vmware 64bit is using 32bit libs. |
