[SOLVED] how Install 32-bit packages on 64-bit Linux red hat 6.2 server

Issue

My operating system is Red Hat 6.2 server 64bit
I'm trying to install packages for oracle 11 requirement and can not install i686 packges .

Sample 

[root@redhat1 Packages]# rpm -ivh nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-17.el6.i686.rpm

and I can not install i686 Packges on red hat 64 bit.


Solution

Ideally, you should be able to resolve the problem with these two commands:

yum clean all
yum install glibc.i686

One troubleshooting tip might be to try

yum search libc.so.6

These links might also help:

==============================================

ADDENDUM:

You posted this additional information:

yum install glibc.i686 Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager Updating certificate-based repositories.
No package glibc.i686 available. Error: Nothing to do

This means that none of your currently configured repos happen to have the 32-bit glibc runtime.

If you have the RedHat DVD, try this:
