Well you can on i386.
You dont seem to be able to on x86_64. This is the only trick I could find that
causes rpm/yum to install the required i386 packages on an x86_64 system.

I know yum can do: yum install libXt.i386. From my testing, if this becomes a
requires in rpm, then it generates a requires named libXt.i386. Yum then tries
to find a package matching libXt.i386*.i386.rpm, which never works. If there is
a better way to get i386 packages (that are needed by these vmware apps) to
install with rpm, yum, let me know.
