Oracle Client install on 64bit Linux

Installing Oracle client on a Linux Server (a requirement for OBIEE11g) - The installer is failing the pre-req checks with the following message:

PRVF-7532: Package "libaio-devel-0.3.106(i386) is missing on node

However, when I rpm -q for I am seeing it installed:
#rpm -q | grep libaio-devel
libaio-devel-0.3.106-3.2

Any ideas how to get around this? Thanks.

to add to my previous comment, that is to install the 32bit libaio devel package. What you're seeing when doing rpm query is x64 package; you need both.

Thank you, once I configured my repository to use yum, I successfully executed your command and the installer is continuing on. I figured since there is a working 11g database on this server, all pre-req's should have been there - but looks like one was missing!

Thank you - this is a great forum.
