I installed RHEL5.2 (x86_64) on a PC. After the installation this PC has 2 sets of libraries (64-bit and 32-bit): /lib, /lib64, /usr/lib, /usr/lib64 I looked at a single package to see what it contains: $ rpm -ql zlib /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 /usr/lib64/libz.so.1.2.3 /usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3 /usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/README /usr/lib/libz.so.1 /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3 /usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3 /usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/README But this set of files comes from 2 packages: zlib-1.2.3-3.i386.rpm and zlib-1.2.3-3.x86_64.rpm: rpm -qlp zlib-1.2.3-3.x86_64.rpm /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 /usr/lib64/libz.so.1.2.3 /usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3 /usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/README $ rpm -qlp zlib-1.2.3-3.i386.rpm /usr/lib/libz.so.1 /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3 /usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3 /usr/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/README My question is how to make sure that I have /lib and /usr/lib populated with 32-bit libraries? Do I first install 32-bit version of the package and then 64-bit version? Or do I list both packages on a single rpm line? Or maybe there is some other way? Thanks, Piotr P.S. I also executed the line below: $ rpm -q zlib-1.2.3-3 zlib-1.2.3-3 zlib-1.2.3-3 The output seems to suggest that 2 packages of zlib are installed. Am I right is suspecting that one of them is i386 and the other x86_64? _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
