install the equivalent of Debian ia32-libs package for 64-bit architecture.
I have collected a list for Fedora 9 and above that may help you, or at
least provide some insight into 64-bit RHEL. Please see the blog entry:
http://www.metztli-it.com/blog/blog12.php/2009/05/09/providing-32-bit-application-support-und
that list collection is based on the ia32-libs package for 64-bit Debian.
I was not aware that 64-bit architecture Red Hat EL (or CentOS) had issues
with running 32-bit apps and thought that it was an issue specific to
unsupported Fedora distributions.
Good luck!
