How to configure yum for install only 64 bit packages?
With the current version of yum (3.2.8), the easiest way is to add an exclude line in yum.conf like:
exclude=*.i386 *.i686
Note that you might want to remove all i386/i585 packages that are already on the system to make it a pure x86_64 system. A newer version of yum has rectified the issue. Some details can be found in this mailing list thread:
