I am running Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 x86_64. I need /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0 for virtualbox. I have python-2.4.3-21.el5.i386.rpm installed which is supposed to provide it. Can I just grab the rpm and take out libpython2.4.so.1.0 and just put it in /usr/lib ? Not sure how to do that. I figured a sym-link would have the app not compile correctly (if at all) with the 64-bit lib. Tried yum with no luck: yum localinstall -y --nogpgcheck VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_rhel5-1.i386.rpm --> Running transaction check ---> Package VirtualBox.i386 0:2.1.2_41885_rhel5-1 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libpython2.4.so.1.0 for package: VirtualBox --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libpython2.4.so.1.0 is needed by package VirtualBox rpm -qa|grep python|sort ... python-2.4.3-21.el5 python-crypto-2.0-1.2.el5.rf python-elementtree-1.2.6-5 python-game-1.8.1-1.el5.rf python-iniparse-0.2.3-4.el5 python-khashmir-4.4.0-1.el5.rf python-ldap-2.2.0-2.1 python-numeric-23.7-2.2.2 python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1 python-urlgrabber-3.1.0-2 python-xdg-0.17-1.el5.rf rpm-python-4.4.2-48.el5
