what package will give me /lib/ld-linux.so.2 on x86_64?

In spite of all the theory on Earth, packages did not work with i686, removed 
i686 installed i586, packages work. All packages but one, when I tried 
installing the 32 bit parts of X and gtk I got conflicts. At that point I just 
gave up and went 32 bit, the object is to use the system, not chase bugs. I get 
no benefit from 64 bit, and it was fun trying, getting the 32 bit binaries 
working takes more (unpaid) time than I have.

I appreciate the comments on 586 vs. 686 I just can't collaborate with 
experimental data.
