I have been using Debian based distributions of Linux for about a year now and I want to try out Fedora. I downloaded the Electronic Lab spin but I want to install Eagle CAD, which I understand uses 32-bit libraries.
I have found some information on some other sites that all recommend using yum to install these libraries:
sudo yum install libstdc++.i686 libXrender.i686 libXrandr.i686 libXcursor.i686 freetype.i686 fontconfig.i686 libXi.i686
I tried to just install the first two listed there but I got this on the output:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, refresh-packagekit

Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:
1. You have an upgrade for libstdc++ which is missing some
dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
solve this by installing an older version of libstdc++ of the
different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
--exclude libstdc++.otherarch ... this should give you an error
message showing the root cause of the problem.
2. You have multiple architectures of libstdc++ installed, but
yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures.
If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
can remove the one with the missing update and everything
will work.
3. You have duplicate versions of libstdc++ installed already.
You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
much more problems).

When I try to run the installer script provided by Cad Soft I get the following:
./eagle-lin-6.5.0.run: /tmp/eagle-setup.3796/eagle-6.5.0/bin/eagle: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
From others I am guessing this is showing up because there is something wrong with my 32-Bit libraries?
Since I am new to Fedora I am also new to the YUM package manager. I also realize that I could use KiCAD but I need Eagle for work and I would like to see if I can get this system up to speed with what I need at work.
