You should be able to run 32 bit applications on 64 bit systems by 
loading the compat libraries:

compat-libgcc-296-2.96-138.x86_64.rpm
or
compat-libgcc-34-3.4.6-4.x86_64.rpm

Fedora
yum install compat-libgcc
should get you the correct version for your installation.

For SuSE
apt-get install compat-2004 compat-sles8
