Can you give us some guidance on what to do about this problem?
If all the 32-bit libraries (glibc, termcap, ncurses, X11, Gnome,...) are there, just find out why they are not found and used ! If they are not there, what extra packages should be installed, maybe the 32- bit stuff is totally 'optional'...
