Installing 32 bit RHEL Workstation

Latest response

I am aware that Red Hat is not providing support for installation of 32 bit RHEL but I want to find out if there is a way to access it.

I am trying to install a software, MITSIMLab, which is a transportation simulation software developed at MIT. The software was designed and developed on 32 bit computers in the late 1990's to early 2000 and consequently most of the libraries used in the development are 32 bit. When i tried to install the software on 64 bit RHEL 7.3 Workstation I had tremendous difficulty in installing the software because most of 32 bit libraries required are not available on 64 bit RHEL.

I wasted plenty of time trying to force it to install on RHEL 7.3 but with partial success.

The other final option that I tried is to compile binary files on RHEL 7.3 with no success at all because I could not find libraries / parse generators such as bison++, flex-old, libmotif3, libmotif-dev, libxpm-dev , libxmu-dev, and libXext-dev that could be installed on 64 bit.

My question to the community is how to work around this problem ?
