I explained that 64 bit systems need 32 bit libraries if they are to run
certain programs, like OpenOffice.

We need to know the "xxxx".
Are you using yum or up2date? Can you give us the precise error message:
we need to know which file is conflicting with which package.
It would also be helpful if you did a
rpm -q --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{ARCH}\n' $PACKAGE
where $PACKAGE is the package you're having trouble with.
For example,
[james@kendrick ~]$ rpm -q --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{ARCH}\n' glibc
glibc-2.3.4-2.fc3 x86_64
glibc-2.3.4-2.fc3 i686
And can you do a
rpm -qf --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{ARCH}\n' $FILE
on the file $FILE.
Thanks,
James.
