Re: [CentOS] centos 64 bit

Hi,

RHEL/CentOS always installs both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries, that is the way Red Hat wanted it, so Applications designed only as 32-bit can run without any modification on 64-bit system. If you check other packages, you will see many have 32-bit counterparts.

This is normal behavior without any repercussions, so unless you intend to remove all 32-bit libraries from your system, I recommend to go ahead and install both 32-bit and 64-bit packages.

That depends on what system you’re building.

I haven’t used any 32-bit systems for many years now. I don’t have any need for them so I don’t install them. So, unless it’s absolutely needed, I suggest deleting them all.
