So it's an x86_64 system? If so, what do you want an i386 RPM of R
for? You could well be better off compiling from source. If you
insist, then you might get it to work by installing the 32bit version
of the library in /usr/lib, but there's no guarantee, and you probably
get into further trouble the first time you try installing a CRAN
package.

I think that was a typo; just "ldd /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R".
