>      lib1=`yum list glibc | grep 'i[0-9]86' | grep -e "installed"`
>      lib2=`yum list *gtk* | grep 'i[0-9]86' | grep -e "installed"`
>      if [ -z "$lib1" ] || [ -z "$lib2" ]; then
>         echo "ERROR: 32-bit libraries required for this installer are
> missing. Please follow instructions below and restart the installer."
>         ...

> 
> glibc.i686    2.14.90-24.fc16.6    @updates
> glibc.x86_64  2.14.90-24.fc16.6    @updates

> Knowing that my system provided those prerequisites, I simply commented
> out the two bad lines in the installer, and everything ran to completion.
