[CentOS] yum install libstdc++-devel

On CentOS 4.5 (x86_64); happening on several different machines

with libstdc++ and libstdc++-devel v. 3.4.6-8

only one of the i386 or x86_64 versions of libstc++-devel is installed

if I yum install libstdc++-devel

it will install the x86_64 version and remove the i386 version, but not warn me. Similarly if the i386 version is installed it will install the x86_64 and remove the i386, without warning.

But if i remove libstc++-devel (and necessarily gcc-c++), then reinstall with

yum install gcc-g++ libstdc++-devel

both versions of libstdc++-devel will be installed.
