Okular on CentOS 5.6 32 bit


I'm running CentOS 5.6 32 bit (unable to upgrade at this time), with Firefox 38. I'm running into a few issues with pdf files. I would like to try okular (with mozplugger to embed the pdf). When I search for CentOS compatible rpm's, I don't find an okular 32 bit. I only find a 64 bit compatible with CentOS 7. Does a 32 bit version exists that would be compatible with CentOS 5.6 and if so, which version number and where could I find it? Thanks for any help.

Code:
su -

yum install okular
BUT that is a kde4 package and will need kde

Cent defaults to Gnome and gnome defaults to Evince

and it IS installed by default


mind you YOU will have to MANUALLY edited the repo url to point to the HISTORICAL archive " The Vault"

the 5.6 mirrors are long dead

http://vault.centos.org/

John,
I've got my repo file setup for the CentOS 5.6 Vault and tried yum install okular. I was expecting it to tell me it had dependencies (like kde), but instead it said no package okular available, nothing to do. When I do an rpm search for okular for CentOS, so far I only find it in the CentOS 7 Vault (64 bit). Is it located in a different repository that you know the URL for? I need a 32 bit CentOS 5.6 compatible version? I thought I might try to load kde items first and okular may be included, but I'm not sure what to load. One okular post said you need kdelibs, which I already have another said kdegraphics and you mentioned kde4. I'd like to use yum, so I get the best version, based on everything else I have. Thanks for sticking with me!

No package "okular" for CentOS 5 , any repo.

But you can get evince : # yum install evince
