Ed,

Thanks for the reply. If I am reading this correctly:

[paul at paul Desktop]$ ls -al /usr/lib/libproj*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Jun 24 20:20 /usr/lib/libproj.so.0 -> 
libproj.so.0.7.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 305696 Aug  4  2013 /usr/lib/libproj.so.0.7.0

Then it looks like libproj.so.0 is installed and the symbolic link to 
libproj.so.0.7.0 exists

 From this:

[paul at paul Desktop]$ sudo yum list | grep libproj
libprojectM.x86_64 2.0.1-20.fc20                 @fedora
libprojectM-devel.x86_64 2.0.1-20.fc20                 @fedora
libprojectM-qt.x86_64 2.0.1-8.fc20                  @fedora
libprojectM-qt-devel.x86_64 2.0.1-8.fc20                  @fedora
libprojectM.i686 2.0.1-20.fc20                 fedora
libprojectM-devel.i686 2.0.1-20.fc20                 fedora
libprojectM-qt.i686 2.0.1-8.fc20                  fedora
libprojectM-qt-devel.i686 2.0.1-8.fc20                  fedora

It looks like both 64 and 32 bit versions are installed.

I am afraid I don't know how to remove the 32 bit version. All my 
attempts to use
yum remove or yum erase have been  unsuccessful. Any assistance you 
could provide
would be appreciated.
