..and since you don't tell us what version/distro of Linux, where you got the package, the architecture of your machine, or how you're trying to install the package, there's nothing we can help with. Unless you provide details, we can't help you.

The message seems very clear...you already HAVE the same version of GCC installed, but for x64. Installing an x86 set of libraries won't be a good idea. What is your goal, and why are you trying to install this?
