Hi Frank,
I'm pleased to read that you have resolved your issue. Please don't
regard that problem as indicative of Scientific Linux. It was (as far
as I can see) a result of the Upstream Vendor (Red Hat) releasing
32-bit packages with the 64-bit architecture. Hopefully you will not
get bitten that way again.
If at any time you should ever run into mixed-arch problems the rpm
query line, that I showed you in my previous message, will be useful
to recall.
Regards,
Alan.
