You can use 32 bit libraries in 64 bit machines. I use several VPNs in Linux
that are only 32 bit based, while my own machine is 64 bit.
I haven't used Mandriva for a long time, but as far as I remember, you
should place it under the normal lib directory. the lib64 is for 64 bit
only. That's way you maintain the order of things.
When done, do ldconfig -v to see if the shared library was found in the
search path. If not, please add it to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ or any other
directory/file Mandriva requires it.
Good luck

Sorry about the newbie question. Our sysadmin is going abroad for the
holidays, and I have to cover for him. Sort of. Well, I need to be able to
connect to our office using Checkpoint SNX. But the version I was given is
looking for libpam.so.0, I assume the 32 bit version, and doesn't find the
/lib64/libpam.so.0 I have.
Should I install the 32 bit version of pam? Or is that going to have ill
effects on my system? Or maybe I should just add /lib64 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or something?
(My machine is Mandriva 2010.0)
Thanks,
