With the increasing adoption of 64-bit systems, there are scenarios in which you might still need to run applications that require 32-bit libraries even on a 64-bit version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). This could involve software that hasn't been updated to a 64-bit architecture or proprietary tools that only provide 32-bit binaries. In this blog, we'll guide you through the process of installing 32-bit libraries on a 64-bit RHEL system. We'll also cover the instructions for doing similar installations using different package managers like apt, dnf, and zypper, for those who might be using derived distributions like Ubuntu or openSUSE. Multiarch allows you to install libraries from multiple architectures on the same machine.
