Centos 6.2 64 bit and Filepro 5.7

[John Sica]

So now I'm re-installing Centos 6.2 64 bit and I'm at the place where 
it's asking for me to install either the default Centos installation 
(minimal) or some other type.  Is this where the arch support and 
development could be installed?

There really is no clear indication as to where and when I add the 386 
libraries for all the packages I need.  Maybe I can install all of them 
from some repository, which I can add to the "Database Server" 
selection?  So which repository would contain all the 386 libraries that 
Filepro 5.7 (including the unixodbc) needs to run? This way I can 
install it at the installation time, rather than pick and choose the 
specific libraries as the error come up.

Thanks,

John
