It would be much easier to discover why you might need some 32 bit 
libraries.

For instance, you mentioned SDL.  Is there an app you have that is not 
in rpm format that requires 32 bit libs?

Perhaps you have a 32 bit app in rpm format.

Simply:

# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck <myprog>.rpm

That will install all of the appropriate 32 bit libs for that app.

Much better than just trying to grab all 32 bit libs and hope it works ...


Good Luck!
