how to get 32-bit libz.so.1 support on 64-bit fedora?

  i just installed a sizable number of pre-built 32-bit executables on
my 64-bit f11 system, a very small number of which are looking for the
(32-bit) shared lib libz.so.1 and which will therefore fail to run.

  since my system is 64-bit, i have no libz shared lib under either
/lib or /usr/lib, but i will of course have the 64-bit version
installed under /lib64.

  what's the proper solution to get around this?  yum installing the
32-bit compatibility libs?  then libz?  thanks.
