64bit Issues

Problems installing 64bit (x86_64) as a desktop. Problems arise when you install 64bit but need to install 32bit applications as well.

Known workarounds for specific applications

Adobe Reader (acrobat)

• sssd-client.i686 - required for getuid to work

The sssd dependency is the only dependency that isn't straight forward to find. To find the rest load LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the path to the Adobe libraries, then ldd acroread and look for not found

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib ldd /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread |grep "not found"

Then install the packages that provide the missing libraries by looking for the lib64 versions of the libraries. For instance if libpng.so.12 was not found:

        libpng12.so.0 => not found
root@client[1047]: rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0
libpng-1.2.44-1.el6.x86_64
root@client[1048]: yum install libpng.i686
root@client[1049]: ldd /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread |grep libpng
 	libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x002c5000)

When you've finished installing all the dependencies using this method, you should not have any not found libraries returned from the ldd above.
