Yes, I am sure --- I'm also running 64bit install, and it worked for me. :-) 
Don't ask me how and why, but yum figured out that it has to install .i686 
packages completely on its own. I was also surprised by that, but didn't 
bother to investigate further. Maybe these libraries don't exist (with those 
names) for 64bit install, or something... ;-)
