This may be considered a newbie question, and for me, yum is a new tool. I have discovered via yum, I am *supposed* to have libf2c (386) and libf2c (x86-64) installed. Searching the two libs, I find I only have the 32-bit version installed, and I need both. Should I use yum to remove the pkgs, and then reinstall, or should I use rpm to do the installs? Again, I'm from the BSD camp, so this is all new to me. Also, are the two libs in question on the distro CD's or do I need to go out and find them, or let yum find them for me and install?
Thanks..

you can specify arch of a package on the yum command line : eg.
yum install foo.x86_64
in which case only the x86_64 package will be installed.

You can find out for sure with: rpm -ql libf2c |grep -i lib
If you see both lib and lib64, you have both. Furthermore, the following command rpm -q libf2c
Should list two packages.
Should I use yum to remove the pkgs, ... cut ...
No need. Just run: yum install libf2c.i386 libf2c.x86_64
Thanks Brian..
That let me know they are in fact, both there, but named libg2c and not libf2c. Makes a big difference when setting up the stuff for linking on MM5.
