After the mention earlier today of putting i386 support back into a Fedora 8 installation after having removed all i386 rpms, I decided to try it and see what happens. Scientific experimentation and all that....
I removed the exclude line from my yum.conf and typed "yum install firefox.i386"
I got a list of 77 rpms to download (all i386) and said to proceed.
After downloading, I got this:
QUOTE: Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve: Package devhelp needs libgtkembedmoz.so()(64bit), this is not available. Package yelp needs libgtkembedmoz.so()(64bit), this is not available. Package yelp needs libxpcom_core.so()(64bit), this is not available.

Complete! END OF QUOTE
I then created a list of all of the i386 rpms on another of my F8 computers, this one an x86_64 installation that I had never removed the i386 rpms from.
I did this to create the list:
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}.%{ARCH}\n" | grep -v 'x86_64|noarch|gpg-pubkey' > list
I then copied that list to my x86_64-only computer and did this:
yum -y install $(cat list)
And after running through the whole list of packages, I got this error:
QUOTE --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: control-center-filesystem = 1:2.20.1-5.fc8 is needed by package control-center END OF QUOTE
On my "other computer" where I got the list of i386 rpms from, I see that I have two versions of control-center-filesystem, as you see here:
QUOTE: $ rpm -q control-center-filesystem control-center-filesystem-2.20.1-5.fc8 control-center-filesystem-2.20.3-2.fc8 END OF QUOTE
So, what am I doing wrong here?

I installed adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm and then tried this:
yum install flash-plugin
I got a list of 42 packages to download. After downloading, I got this:

I think the easiest way is downloading the i386 and x86_64 versions of each package you need and doing:
rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm

Actually - I think what happened is that it was grabbing i386 packages that were not in sync with the x86_64 packages on his system version-release wise.

That does indeed appear to have been the problem. Out-of-date mirror.
I tried a "yum clean all" last night and had the same problem, but I did it again ("yum clean all") about an hour ago and it worked.
Now I have a different (related) issue.
I installed both Adobe Reader and Flash. However, I don't see either of them in my Firefox about:config.
I did a bit of reading on nspluginwrapper and discovered two things:
The program nspluginwrapper that's mentioned in the documentation does not exist on this computer.
The program mozilla-plugin-config does, even though it's not mentioned.
"mozilla-plugin-config -l" gives me a list of mplayer stuff.
"mozilla-plugin-config -i" doesn't seem to change anything. Another "mozilla-plugin-config -l" afterward gives me the same list of mplayer stuff and I still don't see Adobe Reader or Flash in about:config after reloading Firefox.
So what do I have to do to make these plugins work? It seems to me that all I did on my other computer was to install the Adobe Reader and Flash rpms and it just worked by magic.

Michael just sent me a private email stating that I need to install the 32-bit version of nspluginwrapper.
Installing that did the trick -- now both Adobe Reader and Flash show up in my 64-bit firefox about:config and it seems to be working fine.
Thanks for your help, Micheal! I truly appreciate your assistance.
