rhel7 & 32bit support?
Hi,
I have a problem with installation software which depends on 32bit sw/libs
I cant believe redhat gave up with 32bit appl support...
However I dont see any 32bit in epel so maybe it is the case.
Pls help in getting this resolved:
I have webkitgtk and qtwebkit installed, but both are x86_64 versions.
How to get 32bit version?

The easiest way to install skype in RHEL-7 is to use Nux-Dextop repository. Set it up and run 'yum install skype'. It will install a whole bunch of 32-bit packages that are required to run skype 32-bit (including qtwebkit). At the time of this writing the version is skype-4.3.0.37-2.R.i586.
Please note that this repository is not officially supported by Red Hat like any other 3rd party repos. But it is one of those that are well trusted in the EL community. Be sure to read the notes on the referenced web page.
