Installation failed on FC5 x86_64

I know it's not on the official supported list, but has anyone been able to get Studio 11 to install on Fedora Core 5 for x86_64? Is the problem likely to be that the linux build is only for 32-bit or has anyone had success with a different 64-bit linux distro?

When I try the install, I get the failure message appended below. It looks like a problem finding [u]libXp.so.6[/u], but I have this file in /usr/lib64, hence my question about 64-bit support. When I googled this file I found references saying I needed xorg-x11-deprecated-libs, so I found an rpm for this and installed it. This put another version of libXp.so.6 in /usr/X11R6/lib64, but still to no avail. I also noticed that

[code]rpm --query --whatprovides 'libXp.so.6' [/code] produces the result

[code]no package provides libXp.so.6[/code] even after installing the above.

I'm accustomed to the 32-bit Fedora we use at work, but I've only recently tried installing it at home, so I'm not so experienced with sysadmin, so I may have made some wrong assumptions (the main one being that what works for RHEL should work for Fedora).

thanks for any advice.

I've now found this thread reporting the same installation error message with RHEL4, so it looks like it's not restricted to FC5. Unfortunately no solution was posted for that problem either. http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=72361

Solved it!

when trying to fix a totally different problem I ran

[code]yum install openmotif.i386[/code]

This also picked up the package dependency libXp.i386

As I suspected, the problem comes from having a 64-bit linux system, where the default installed packages are the .x86_64 versions, but Studio 11 is looking for the .i386 versions.
