Hi Tom, I had a similar problem when running Centos4, x86_64 architecture, inside of a vserver where the host is debian amd64. It wouldn't choose x86_64 automatically even after changing the yum repository config file.
I found that the following command worked: yum install --enablerepo=centosplus php-mysql.x86_64 So you could try: yum install --enablerepo=<WhateverRepo> php-mysql.i386 As I mentioned, I also edited the CentOS-Base.repo file entries to look like this but it didn't seem to override whatever auto-detection yum uses: [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=x86_64&repo=os baseurl=http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/centos/4.5/os/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 priority=1 protect=1 Chaim On Feb 5, 2008 3:01 PM, Tom Rosenfeld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Jan 29, 2008 5:36 PM, Oded Arbel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > .. > > > > For other 32 bit software, CentOS does not package all 32 bit packages > > for x86_64 - only the really important stuff (do they offer > > mplayerplug-in in their 32bit repositories ?
