In GCC, multilib means building additional libraries for specific compilation parameters. In this case, building 32-bit libraries even though you have a 64-bit system. The 32-bit libraries are required if you want to be able to compile and link with the -m32 option. If you never want to use the -m32 option, then you could configure with --disable-multilib. I'm no expert on RHEL, but I think the 32-bit libraries are going to be something like glibc-NNNN.i686 and glibc-devel-NNNN.i686. The NNNN should be the same as the glibc RPM's you have installed already. Ian
