This may be considered a newbie question, and for me, yum is a new tool. I have discovered via yum, I am *supposed* to have libf2c (386) and libf2c (x86-64) installed. Searching the two libs, I find I only have the 32-bit version installed, and I need both. Should I use yum to remove the pkgs, and then reinstall, or should I use rpm to do the installs? Again, I'm from the BSD camp, so this is all new to me. Also, are the two libs in question on the distro CD's or do I need to go out and find them, or let yum find them for me and install? Thanks.. -- Snowman

Furthermore, the following command rpm -q libf2c Should list two packages.> Should I use yum to remove the pkgs, ... cut ...No need. Just run: yum install libf2c.i386 libf2c.x86_64 -- Bryan J.
