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.
