We are using a 64 bit installation into 3D visualisation workstations,
but need full IA-32 library compatibility. My understanding is that
there is no polymorphism between 32 bit and 64 bit applications by
default, but there is for libraries:
/usr/lib versus /usr/lib64 and the like. However, when I attempt to set
both the x86-64 and the ia-32 repos via the "Add/Remove Software" GUI
(e.g., Scientific Linux 6x - i386 fpr the ia-32 portion), I only get a
list of the RPMs for x86-64 (both the platform and the SL environment)
but not ia-32. How does one activate both to appear so that the library
packages for both will be put into the system via the GUI?
I have done this successfully in the past, but have seem to have
misplaced the syntactic instructions for how to do this.
