Pick *one* x86_64, first. Install it first. Do not try to run the
"sun-compat" packages at the same time as the openjdk package: go with
openjdk if you can.

Then install the 32-bit JDK with the Scientific Linux RPM, but with
the "--noscript" and the "--location" options to select another
installation directory. This will help prevent it from resetting all
your relevant symlinks and update-alternatives setups.

This should install the 32-bit in parallel, and leave it where you can
reset "JAVA_HOME" to find it.
