Unhappy [SOLVED] 32-bit Apps Problem under 64-bit Fedora

Hello guys,
i'm using 64-bit Fedora 15, now i need to run some apps which has no 64-bit support (they only provide support for 32-bit), like-
qnext
yoono
& few others.
most of them has no rpm build, they providing latest packages in tar.bz2 format, so i need to run those directly via executables (after extracting the archieve), such as-

Code:
./qnext
but when i going to run those, it showing error coz my system is 64-bit.
such as- Yoono showing following error:

Code:
couldn't load XPCOM
there's a package named 'getlibs' in Ubuntu which easier the job for such kind of packages by automatically downloading proper 32-bit libraries. but its not working for fedora coz fedora has no package called 'ia32-libs' like ubuntu.
so i'm now facing problem to run those programs.
how can i run those 32-bit apps under my 64-bit system? is there any way to enable full 32-bit support under fedora 15 (64-bit) so that i can run any 32-bit apps without any problem?
Thanks in advance. Regards.

yes, i already notice that, but the 'how to' given in that link is for Fedora 11.
will it work under fedora 15 as well? many things has been changed in Fedora 15 since Fedora 11, so i'm little confused will it work or not.
any idea?

Re: 32-bit Apps Problem under 64-bit Fedora

Code:
yum instal libXtst.i686
This should work for F15. Atleast it installs the 32bit version of libXtst, I don't know if it will actually solve your problem or not...

Re: 32-bit Apps Problem under 64-bit Fedora

thanks to all for reply.
last night i've give a try to the tutorials given in the Qnext site with slight modification for Fedora 15, it's working!!
now i can use qnext & other 32-bit apps, although yoono not running well (i think its not optimized for xulrunner 2.0), but i'm happy that 32-bit support enabled in Fedora 15.
mark this topic as solved.
