Re: x86-compat-libs on RHEL WS 3

Thanks for your reply.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but I need to run certain binaries that have 
not been ported to the Itanium, in particular an installation routine, and 
I need the runtime libraries for ix86 available. When I install these, I 
still can't run the binaries as the runtime libraries make reference to an 
older version of glibc.

Hope that helps to clarify things.
