Hi
I recently did a fresh install of SL6 x86_64 (formerly running SL5.3
x86_64) and realized that the 32 bit libraries were not installed. SL6
is up-to-date and I have installed the NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIA.

One application returns the following when trying to run the gui
version but the command line version works as expected.
libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have looked in the "Add/Remove Software" application for the "32 bit
libraries" package but could not find them.  I have also tried to
install the 32 bit (i686) version of the libraries using rpm.  The rpm
command and resulting error are:

[root@SL6box ~]# rpm -i
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/x86_64/os/Packages/libSM-1.1.0-7.1.el6.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
       libuuid.so.1 is needed by libSM-1.1.0-7.1.el6.i686
       libuuid.so.1(UUID_1.0) is needed by libSM-1.1.0-7.1.el6.i686
[root@SL6box ~]# rpm -i
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/x86_64/os/Packages/libuuid-2.17.2-6.el6.i686.rpm
       package libuuid-2.17.2-6.el6_0.1.x86_64 (which is newer than
libuuid-2.17.2-6.el6.i686) is already installed

I have also tried to include the i686 repo under yum but have received
the same results.

Is there another way of installing the 32 bit libraries?  As the
missing libraries are most likely graphics related, is there a subset
of libraries I should install?  Or should I install SL 5.5 or Fedora?

Thank you
Emilio
