No, this is what you need to run 32-bit apps (on an up-to-date 64-bit
CentOS 5 system) [note: the -devel rpms are optional]:
sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" glibc\*
glibc-devel-2.5-81.el5_8.7.x86_64
glibc-common-2.5-81.el5_8.7.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.5-81.el5_8.7.i386
glibc-headers-2.5-81.el5_8.7.x86_64
glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.7.i686
glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.7.x86_64
The %{release}s need to match!

Make sure you are installing the proper version and have the base AND
updates repos enabled.
