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!

Make sure you are installing the proper version and have the base AND
updates repos enabled.

I've been actively following the list during the first major CentOS 5 releases and I should have noticed it :-) I added it immediately to some systems now. I didn't know the problem exists only because of anaconda greediness on first package options installation. In that case I may not have needed to exclude at all since I do the initial install with custom kickstart files that install only core plus the packages I want. Good to know. Again, thanks!

Use this option in yum.conf INSTEAD of excluding i386/i686 packages: multilib_policy=best Here is some info on this option: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Software_Management_Guide/ch04s07.html The only problem is that for CentOS-5.x anaconda initially installs with the equivalent setting of "all" ... so what I do on new installs is a minimal install, remove i[3,6]86 rpms, add "multilib_policy=best" to /etc/yum.conf, then configure the server the way I want. You can add specific i[3,6]86 packages and they will continue to get updates, etc ... BUT, only x86_64 will be used when installing new packages unless you specifically also install i[3,6]86 This is the default for CentOS-6, except anaconda actually installs this way too, so you don't need to remove i[3,6]86 packages. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I have 386 and 686 excluded from the repo's because of the greediness to install all versions of a package. At least in earlier versions of the 5.x series.

After commenting out for updates there is no problem to get glibc.i686. And it doesn't ask for glibc-common. Seems there is a dependency in the i686 package that is resolved by the x86_64 package of glibc-common, but as I was accidentally trying to install an older version of glibc.i686 the installed newer version didn't match.

That is NOT the latest version of glibc.i686 .. it is the version that is in CentOS 5.8, but have been 4 updates to the CentOS-5.8 glibc since then. The one thing you are going to need to do is to have the same version of glibc.i686 that you have for glibc.x86_64. If you really do have 2.5-81 and not glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.1 (or .2, .4, or .7) then it should install just fine. I would bet you have a different version of glibc.x86_64 ... what does this tell you: rpm -qa | grep glibc | sort (pay particular attention to see if there is a number after "-81") And this is a requirement for any multi-lib package, not just glibc ... one should use the same i[3,6]86 package version as the installed x86_64 version to get the install to work correctly. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] cannot install glibc.i686 on x86_64
I'm not sure, glibc-common*.i686 is on the [updates] section of the /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo. Maybe priorities between the repos [base] and updates or [updates] "ENABLED=0" Take a look in - mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/ Your system version is CentOS 5 ?

[CentOS] cannot install glibc.i686 on x86_64
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. 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? Kai ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
