Trying to install glibc-common 686 on a x64 system

Hi,

I hoping someone can help me. I am running a 64 bit RH 6.5 Server, and have to install glibc.686 for a Symantec package I need to install. A prerequisite for glibc.686 is glibc-common. I'm trying to install this manually, as it's not on our local repository, but when I try, I get the following error:

Code:

[root@opsserver OpsCenter_7.6.0.1_Unix]# yum install ./glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6.i686.rpm
Setting up Install Process
Examining ./glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6.i686.rpm: glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6.i686
./glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6.i686.rpm: does not update installed package.
Error: Nothing to do

Is what i'm trying even possible? Is it possible to have both sets of glibc-common (686 & x64) libraries installed? And if so, how do I go about installing it? Many thanks!

debuginfo-install

debuginfo-install(1)													      debuginfo-install(1)

NAME

       debuginfo-install - install debuginfo packages and their dependencies

SYNOPSIS

       debuginfo-install package

DESCRIPTION

       debuginfo-install  is a program which installs the RPMs needed to debug the specified package.  The package argument can be a wildcard, but
       will only match installed packages.  debuginfo-install will then enable any debuginfo repositories, and install the relevant debuginfo rpm.

EXAMPLES

       Download and install all the RPMs needed to debug the kernel RPM:
	      debuginfo-install kernel

WARNING MESSAGES

       Could not find debuginfo for:
	      You may sometimes see warning messages about certain packages not being found if you run debuginfo-install for a wildcard  or  glob.
	      Debuginfo  packages are not necessary for "noarch" RPMs; these will generate a warning message.  Additionally, On 64-bit systems, no
	      multilib debuginfo packages are published, so if you have 32-bit packages installed, these will also generate warning messages.

FILES

       As debuginfo-install uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration  for	its  default  values  like
       which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

BUGS

       There  are  of  course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
       unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug  use	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
