Yes you can install both and I do install both of several libs and I don't have it handy but I think a previous post in this list explained how the packages can discern which architecture lib they want Phebe Mertes 210-301-6271 <m.roth2006@xxxxx om> Sent by: To redhat-list-bounc General Red Hat Linux discussion es@xxxxxxxxxx list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> cc 04/21/2009 09:55 Subject AM Re: dumb question Please respond to General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@redh at.com> Phebe, >Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 09:43:15 -0500 >From: Phebe_Mertes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > >They are actually ported for use in the x86_64 platform in order to give >functionality to a 32 bit package. > >For example: we use HP's Server Management Homepage and one package is >still in 32 bit.
