Problem with installing xorg-x11 32 bit package on Fedora 13
Hi,
I need to install 32 bit xorg-x11 rpm (or package) for an application in my fedora 13 which is a 64 bit platform. I can't figure out how to install 32 bit xorg-x11 packages using yum. I tried with command "yum install xorg-x11*", it's updating with latest 64 bit packages. But I need to get 32 bit
I tried with commands like "yum install xorg-x11*i386*" but it's not working (I guess i386 will be for 32 bit). Could you guys please let me know what to do?
Thanks

Not sure what you are trying to achieve. The Rpms you are trying to install will break you X server. You are probably looking for 32 bit libraries for your application to use. yum list '*lib*' will give you an idea of the options available to you.

Hi,
I want to install an application which requires 32 bit xorg-x11 if the linux platform is 64 bit. I am currently using Fedora 13 (64 bit), xorg library which is installed here is 64 bit but I need 32 bit xorg library according to the requirement of the application.
Now if I use yum to install 32 bit xorg rpm specifically what it says that requested rpm is obsolete and latest xorg rpm (64 bit) are already installed.
Is there any way I can force yum to install an obsolete rpm. I have fedora core 6 dvd where 32 bit xorg rpms are available. I can't install all these rpms one by one using "rpm -ivh .." because there are lot of dependencies.
