Re: Make process looping

The issue is that when I install this i386 rpm it says that
glibc-devel.i386 is already installed.

[root@pmd02 d00_dayfiles]# yum list glibc-devel
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Installed Packages
glibc-devel.i386                         2.5-34                       installed
glibc-devel.x86_64                       2.5-34                       installed
