64-bit Linux Yum installs 32-bit RPM packages

In the 64-bit Linux installation of 64-bit Oracle, there are sometimes "Libxext.so.6:cannot open Shared Object file:" Errors. Or sometimes appears libxp.so.6 is needed by openmotif21-2.1.30-11.el ... Error.

This is mainly due to the fact that Oracle installs some 32-bit Lib at the time of installation and can use the following workaround:

# Yum List Available | grep LIBXP

libxp.i686 1.0.0-15.1.el6 Server

libxp.x86_64 1.0.0-15.1.el6 Server

libxp-devel.i686 1.0.0-15.1.el6 Server

libxp-devel.x86_64 1.0.0-15.1.el6 Server

....

So we need to install libxp.i686 and libxp.x86_64

# yum Install libxext.i686

# yum Install libxext.x86_64

Another example in the query GDBM package, found that only x86_64, no 32bit, then you can use

# Yum installs the gdbm.i686 to install 32bit packages.
