help installing RPM on RHEL 5.9

Hello. I am trying to install an RPM package on a 32 bit RHEL 5.9 system, and the install fails a dependency check...

error: Failed dependencies:

libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by uptimeagent-6.0.0-1.x86_64

libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by uptimeagent-6.0.0-1.x86_64

libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) is needed by uptimeagent-6.0.0-1.x86_64

Is this telling me that I need 64bit libraries installed on this 32bit system? Not sure how I would resolve this?

Thanks so much!

    It looks to me like it's telling you that the package you're trying to install is 64 bit.

    uptimeagent-6.0.0-1.x86_64 is looking for 64 bit versions of GLIBC If you're trying to install uptimeagent, look for the version that has i386 in it name.
  • Thanks for the reply...

    That was my assumption, but support was telling me that this package should work... Regardless, I grabbed an older version of the RPM and it installed fine.

    Thanks for the sanity check!! :)

    Cheers,
