I can't find anything called libglade-32, but there's a libglade-0.17-225.i586.rpm
Can I use this? Presumably it will overwrite the symbolic link(s) to the stuff in lib64.
Go ahead, should be fine...
You have to install it besides the other one, so check that both are installed afterwards,
Yes, maybe I did it all wrong, but actually I ended up with the 64bit version being removed and yast2 complaining about a load of dependencies. (If I can digress for a moment, one problem with yast2 is that when there's a problem it doesn't necessarily offer you the direct solution you need. It wanted to remove the packages that depended on 64bit libglade rather than install 64bit libglade and delete 32bit which is what I wanted to do. In the end I risked the threatened system instabilities and forced it to delete libglade and then reinstalled the 64bit). The solution to getting multi-gnome-terminal to run (after installing the generic binary package) was to extract the following from their respective i586 RPMs and place them in /usr/lib: libwrap.so.0 libxml.so.1 libglade.so.0 libglade-gnome.so.0 and in /usr/lib to make links: ln -s libpopt.so.1 libpopt.so.0 ln -s libdb-3.3.so libdb3.so.3 It's worth the effort because multi-gnome-terminal is superior in many ways to gnome-terminal, provided you don't mind the lack of font aliasing. I don't know if it's a bug, but 64bit gnome-terminal produces a somewhat unpleasant effect when you scoll back a page in less using 'b'. Also changing panes by clicking on a tab doesn't activate the cursor in the window, you have to click on the window itself. m-g-t has none of these problems.
