Oops, yes, sorry, you'll need the one from the x86_64 repo: ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pool/1/mirror/scientificlinux/6rolling/x86_64/os/Packages/glibc-2.12-1.47.el6.i686.rpm That's the 32-bit package for 64-bit systems. > Is there a way to compile GCC in a manner it doesn't need stubs-32.h, as i'm > 64 bits here? You could configure GCC with --disable-multilib but I'd suggest installing the glibc-devel.i686 RPM instead.
