That is what I thought, but how do I instlal a x86 package on an x64?
yum install glibc.i686?
It looked obvious for you, but where is this documented?
How about the yum man page. See the section under MISC called "specifying package names".
He's on CentOS-3 the man page for yum-2.0 does not have that section. It's only on the CentOS-4 with yum-2.4.
Maybe I should add it to yum-2.0.x in a next version? <quote> MISC Specifying package names A package can be referred to for install,update,list,remove etc with any of the following:
name name.arch name-ver name-ver-rel name-ver-rel.arch name-epoch:ver-rel.arch epoch:name-ver-rel.arch
For example: yum remove kernel-2.4.1-10.i686 </quote>
