redhat 32-bit Compatibility Layer disc is missing

[Dana IT Unix Sysmgt.Tea]

Has anyone been able to run 32 bit binaries under Redhat ia64? The docs say that you need to install the 32 bit execution layer (emulator) - ia32el, which we have installed. It then mentions that "At this point you can install compatibility libraries by inserting the 32-bit Compatibility Layer disc". However, I can't find an iso of this disc anywhere on redhat.com. Bug 172682 - "32-bit Compatibility Layer disc" ISO missing addresses this but has been closed due ot inactivity.
Does this mean that no one has ever run a 32 bit app under redhat ia64? I can't even install yum (we're on RHEL4 for ia64) since it wants the compatibility libraries. Has aoyone gotten around this issue?

Thanks.

Go to this page (RHN access required):

https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/downloads/SupportedISOs.do

Select "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4 for 64-bit Intel Itanium)". Click the text, not the + sign.

You should reach this page:
https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=2890

The first entry is the Compatibility Layer Disc.

You can also choose the AS version if you prefer - according to the MD5sums, the Compatibility Layer Disc is the same in both versions.

Thanks Matti. That was just what I needed. Installing the packages from the Compatibility Layer disc now.
