The problem with trying to run 32 bit binaries is that they take vast numbers of libraries which have to be located and installed,

Aren't you using yum? I'm running 64-bit since F9 and have had zero
problems of this sort.

What am I missing? Of course I have yum, what I don't have is a tool to look in the 32 bit programs, find the libraries they need, and and then identify which packages need to be installed to get those libraries.

Am I missing some yum magic which lets me unpack the binary from a tar file and then do something like:
  yum do_magic /usr/local/bin/Rchase
and have it take apart the binary to find and install the libraries?
