installing both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries

I have RedHat EL smp x86_64 system, and now I want to additionally
install the 32-bit version of the xorg-x11-libs for some programs
that are expecting the libXpm.so. Apparently the 64-bit version
is already installed as /usr/X11R6/lib64/libXpm.so.4, and there does
not seem to be any file link that would cause a problem if I were
to install a file in /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.

So is there an rpm incantation that will get me the 32-bit libraries?

There is if the rpm you seek is in the repository.

$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/X11R6/lib64/libXpm.so.4

This will list a package name.

$ yum list all < package name >

Will show you all the packages with that name available in the repository.

<package name>.<arch>


For example:
$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libc.so.6
glibc-2.4-4

$ yum list all glibc
glibc.i386
glibc.x86_64
