Any tips/tricks on how and what order I should be installing the RHEL6 packages so that I don't get dependency errors would be much appreciated.
I have sudo access (unrestricted I think) to a Linux VM running RHEL 6.3. I am trying to install an IBM product which requires KSH along with a bunch of Linux packages (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) before it can install properly. Minimal documentation for installing on a Linux environment from IBM.
Many of the packages I am trying to install gives me a dependency failu
rpm -ivh nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-22.el6_6.i686.rpm

When I try to install GLIBC I get the following dependency failu

And another dependency failure when installing glibc-common:

Should I be downloading earlier versions of glibc from the Red Hat site? Please note, I installed the x86_64-bit versions of the required packages with no issues... just getting stuck on the 32-bit components.
Also, this system is internal facing and has no route out to RHN so yum installs automatically return errors, which is why I am stuck using rpm.
Thanks in advance!
