How to fix ld-linux.so.2 error manually

I was trying to use cmake 3.0.0 to install the GROMACS in one of our servers and it yielded an error:

-bash: /root/cmake-3.0.0-Linux-i386/bin/cmake: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

As I found over the internet, it is probably due to the absence of glibc.i686. Somehow, our server is not registered in the subscription manager and I am unable to use yum install to solve the problem.

Any idea on how can I fix this manually?

    Yes: download the glibc.i386 package appropriate for your system and manually install it. Probably something like sudo rpm -iv glibc-2.x.y-i386.rpm would do.
