Installing i386 packages via yum on a x86_64 F9 based system
Hi Everyone,
I recently reformatted my x86_64 F9 based system, and somehow before the format I was able to install i386 packages via yum [I forgot exactly how I did this]. Now after the reformat, when I try to specify i386 packages to install [yum list *.i386], I get no results returned. Is there a specific repo I need to enable to access the i386 packages? The reason for this question is because I manually installed the x86 version of Firefox, and the required libraries and files to run i386 Firefox aren't installed as part of the x86_64 install.
Can someone please advise on how I can install i386 packages via yum on a x86_64 based system?
Thanx!

There are plenty of i386 packages in the Fedora repos, but firefox isn't
there, or at least I didn't find it (I use Konqueror anyway :P).
If you're searching 32-bit Firefox for the plugins (i.e. the Flash
plugin) you can always use one of the free plugins avilable (Gnash or
swfdec) or the proprietary plugin via nspluginwrapper (you can follow
the guide here: http://fedora64.org/solved/browser-solutions/flash ).
If you have other uses for 32-bit Firefox, well, then I don know :P

Installing i386 packages via yum on a x86_64 F9 based system
Thank you for the response.
I'm not looking to install the 32-Bit Firefox via yum, because I've already downloaded it from the mozilla website. I'm trying to run the 32-Bit Firefox and it is complaining about missing libraries. I fixed this before by getting the i386 version of the libraries via yum, but I can't remember how I got the relevant gtk related i386 libraries I needed. For example, bugbuddy is one of the dependencies I need, but when I did: yum list *bug*buddy*i386, I didn't get any results back. So, that is why I thought I needed to get the i386 repo information.
And I'm running the 32-Bit version of Firefox because there is no 64-Bit version of Flash, and I don't feel like running some type of compatibility mode to get it to work.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
Thanx!

Sorry, it looks like Yahoo mail wants to put all responses on top. I never really thought that was a problem until I tried to read a post that was all over the place. :^)
I think I'll have to do a combination of yum search, yum list, and possibly rpmfind.net to get the packages I need. I just wish it were easier to use yum to find what I want without having to do so much!
Thanx for the response...

Maybe I have a (dirty) solution in mind: you can grab the firefox i386
RPM from a mirror, like
http://fedora.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/fedora/linux/updates/9/i386/firefox-3.0.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm
and then yum localinstall /path/to/firefox-3.0.1-1.fc9.i386, it will
try to resolve dependencies automatically.
I don't really know if it will work, but if you really, really want a
32-bit firefox maybe you can try and pray $DEITY that it work :P

Actually, I had this working perfectly before I reformatted my system using the Firefox that I downloaded from Mozilla's website, I just couldn't remember how I resolved the dependencies through yum to get the i386 libraries that I needed. Plus I like running the Mozilla original Firefox instead of the Fedora rolled Firefox, at least I feel I have a little more control of the settings and what not. I also don't mind doing some manual dependency hunting, it reminds me of the old days...[as sadistic as that sounds].
heh...$DEITY...that never gets old. :^)

For any that are interested, I installed the following i386 packages
on 64-Bit F9 to get Firefox 32-Bit from the Mozilla web site to work:
