I need help resolving a "transaction check error" when trying to 'yum install gtk2-devel' on a CentOS 4.2 x86_64 system. I have a feeling this is due to having both x86_64 and i386 libs?

# yum list installed xorg-x11-libs Installed Packages xorg-x11-libs.x86_64 6.8.2-1.EL.13.20 installed xorg-x11-libs.i386 6.8.2-1.EL.13.20 installed

Is there any way around this? Do I need to erase xorg-x11-libs.i386 (and the gobs of packages that depend on it)?

Below is full output from yum install command, thanks!
