Hello,
Andreas is correct, but I wanted to point out one thing because I've 
seen a few others have similar expectations.

There *are* 32 bit libraries in the x86_64 repositories.
   yum list "*i686"

Usually the easiest way to find whatever the library is, is to use the 
"yum provides" command with the full path.

   yum provides /lib/libk5crypto.so.3
