That seems to be the case.

I couldn't reinstall the packages as I installed via the network.

Login wasn't working in runlevel 3.  And I didn't seem to be having any 
luck with mount for NFS or ssh (which needed libraries as well).  My quick 
solution seemed to get me up and running the quickest:

I added /usr/lib64 /usr/lib /lib64 /lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and 
ran ldconfig

ld.so.conf:
/usr/lib64
/usr/lib
/lib64
/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib64
/usr/lib64/sane
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib64/qt-3.1/lib

These are all the directories called lib64 that I could find:
$ find / -name "lib64" -type d
/usr/lib64
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib64
/usr/X11R6/lib64
/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/lib64
/usr/local/lib64
/lib64

I don't know what the best practice should be in this case whether this is 
an installer problem (it should install them in the right order) or if 
when you install the compatibility libs that it should modify ld.so.conf 
as you might add the 32-bit compat libs later when you need it.
