There is really no easy answer to this question, except that you need to specify .i386 and .x86_64 in your yum commands. I almost always do not use any i386 packages on any x86_64 machines because of this. I always either put this in yum.conf: exclude=*.i386 or this (on machines I build with): exclude=exclude=[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefhijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]*.i?86 g[abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]*.i?86 glib2*.i?86 glib-*.i?86 glib.i?86 (That allows glibc and glibc-devel) If you want to use all the i386 programs available in the x86_64 tree, it is going to require special actions to administer ... and it is not easy (IMHO). I wish it were easier ... but I am afraid it is not. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
