Problem with i386 software on a 64 bit Machine

[Troy Knabe]

32 bit software requires 32 bit versions of the libraries.  Those don't 
install by default on Red Hat.  You will need to find out what libraries 
are required and then manually install the 32 bit versions for your 
applications to work properly.
