 Did this work last year? I.e. has anything changed or had you simply not
tried doing it before?

 No, unfortunately I don't really know much about multilib handling on
RPM-based systems. I could try setting up a similar system here and
experimenting with it, but

 It looks like the advice is to install both 64- and 32-bit versions of the
package, e.g.

        yum install nss-pem.{i686,x86_64}

and this seems logical, at some level, but I also wonder why doesn't it do
it automatically if this is all it needs. In any case, if this does work, I
see no problem with updating the original command in install_redhat.sh to
do it.

 Please let me know if it doesn't work and if you'd like me to do anything
about this,
