You'll need to update the x86_64 version to the same version of the
32-bit package you're trying to install. So either run

# yum update
followed by
# yum install glibc.i686

or, to update just the 64-bit glibc package run

# yum install glibc.i686 glibc.x86_64

thanks, I should mention that I have tried the following already:

yum update [goes just fine and no new updates needed to be done]
yum install glibc.i686

and I get:

Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/doc/glibc-2.12.90/NEWS from install of glibc-2.12.90-19.i686 conflicts with file from package glibc-2.12.90-17.x86_64

and doing : yum upgrade glibc

gives:

Transaction Check Error:
