Problem adding 32-bit QT.

[Jerry Feldman]

Certainly. Another is to install the appropriate 32-bit libraries
directly, and not through packages.
Basically,, this all stems from Skype. Skype is built as a 32-bit binary
requiring some 32-bit libraries included in the qt-x11.i686 package. In
any case, I think the problem is not so much with Fedora 12, but with
some other 32-bit packages I installed then subsequently removed.
Interestingly enough when I removed one of the 32-bit packages yum also
got removed. I have since reinstalled yum from the Fedora 64-bit iso. In
any case, everything else in Fedora 12 seems to work fine except Barry
Backup, and that is more important to me than Skype, but I can load the
development libraries and sources and track that down.
