I had the same issue  the following commands can resolve   sudo yum install  glibc-common glibc   mutual dependency  sudo yum install  glibc i686   the missing version

yum install glibc i686   install this

User · Answer

looks to me  yum install glibc i686  should have worked  Unless Peter was not root   He has the 64 bit glib installed  he is installing a 32 bit package that requires the 32 bit glib which is glib i686 for intel processors

Missing prerequisites  IBM has the solution below   yum install gtk2 i686 yum install libXtst i686  If you received the the missing libstdc   message above   install the libstdc   library   yum install compat-libstdc    https   www-304 ibm com support docview wss uid swg21459143

You did not mention what the command was that you were trying to run that produced the error message  However  the bottom line problem is that you are trying to run and or install 32-bit  i686  packages on a 64-bit  x86 64  system which is not a good idea  For example  if you were trying to run the 32-bit version of Perl on a 64-bit system  the result would be something like      perl   lib ld-linux so 2  bad ELF interpreter  No such file or directory   If you still want to use the rpm command to install the 32-bit versions of glibc and glibc-common on your system  then you need to know that you must install both of the packages at the same time and as a single command because they are dependencies of each other  The command to run in your case would be      rpm -Uvh glibc-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm glibc-common-2 12-1 80 el6 i686 rpm

These are the installation i had to run in order to make it work on fedora 22  -  glibc-2 21-7 fc22 i686 alsa-lib-1 0 29-1 fc22 i686 qt3-3 3 8b-64 fc22 i686 libusb-1 0 1 5-5 fc22 i686

As  borayeris said          yum install glibc i686   But if you cannot find glibc i686 or libstdc   package  try -         sudo yum search glibc   sudo yum search libstd   and then      sudo yum install  package
