WORK AROUND Install glibc.i686. See below links for information on how to setup yum with Oracle internal RPM repos: http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Oracle+Enterprise+Linux,+Oracle+Virtual+Machine+and+YUM+and+automatic+updates [note that the public repo http://public-yum.oracle.com is the one that contains glibc.i686]

EVALUATION 32 bitlibraries need to be Installed. yum uses a repository to find the files. The current repository on the SQE systems and for users in general does not have many rpms. We need to determine what the Oracle Linux teams thinks we should point to for 32 bit libraries. Just getting it to work with a 32 bit library install could have downstream issues. Can SQE get these systems licensed and working with the Oracle ULN services. I tried to register and was unable to since I did not have a CSI.
