That is NOT the latest version of glibc.i686 .. it is the version that is in CentOS 5.8, but have been 4 updates to the CentOS-5.8 glibc since then. The one thing you are going to need to do is to have the same version of glibc.i686 that you have for glibc.x86_64. If you really do have 2.5-81 and not glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.1 (or .2, .4, or .7) then it should install just fine. I would bet you have a different version of glibc.x86_64 ... what does this tell you: rpm -qa | grep glibc | sort (pay particular attention to see if there is a number after "-81") And this is a requirement for any multi-lib package, not just glibc ... one should use the same i[3,6]86 package version as the installed x86_64 version to get the install to work correctly.
