Same thing happens on RHEL4, and it confused me at first.

Shared libraries & such are installed twice, so you can run both 32 and
64 bit binaries on the 64 bit versions.  The 32 bit libraries go in
/usr/lib, and the 64 bit ones in /usr/lib64.

This can produce some interesting problems if package builders aren't
aware that 's390x' is a 64-bit arch.

Subject: [LINUX-390] sles 10 install - 32 bit packages


  

I noticed that while the software packages were being installed, there
were a lot of packages that said 32 bit. 

 

Can someone tell me what they are used for ?

 

Can I deselect them from the software ?

 

Will I be able to run applications that I am currently running on sles9
31 bit ?
