There is a little confusion around the version(s) of CERNLIB. There is one package called 'cernlib' in epel. That appears to be a version that misses a few of the original libraries, and if I understood it correctly includes a few bug fixes and improvements. It is available for both architectures.

Then there is a build that covers more of the original libraries, but has no recent bug fixes or improvements,and is only available for i686. At CERN we have packaged that version as 'CERNLIB'.

Hope this helps,

Matthias
