This appears to be an exceptional case, I've done this many times and 
yum has always provided the 64 bit file or at least a file that works. 
Is there some way to know this before simply doing yum install and 
seeing the result? Obviously yum whatprovides gives the required 
information but since this has rarely been a problem I will probably not 
do it unless I have trouble ,,,

I've added this information to my notes.

Thank you,

Bob
