I cannot install glibc.i686 on a x86_64 system because I get
Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5-81 is needed by package glibc-2.5-81.i686 (base)
glibc-common.x86_64 is installed, but it's apparently looking for i686. There's indeed no glibc-common for i686. There's also glibc.i386 and glibc-common.i386 available, but I think I don't need them.
No, this is what you need to run 32-bit apps (on an up-to-date 64-bit CentOS 5 system) [note: the -devel rpms are optional]:
sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" glibc* glibc-devel-2.5-81.el5_8.7.x86_64 glibc-common-2.5-81.el5_8.7.x86_64 glibc-devel-2.5-81.el5_8.7.i386 glibc-headers-2.5-81.el5_8.7.x86_64 glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.7.i686 glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.7.x86_64
The %{release}s need to match!
I have other x86_64 systems that have an installed glibc.i686 and no glibc.i386 and glibc-common.i386. I don't remember how I did that, probably on first install.
How do I get glibc.i686 with yum on the system?
Make sure you are installing the proper version and have the base AND updates repos enabled.
