I cant find the libnss3.so file (64bit version) in CentOS 8 even after installing the associated package nss-3.44.0-4.el7.x86_64.rpm. I can only find the 32 bit version in /usr/lib/ but no 64bit version in /usr/lib64/. I have tried reverting back to CentOS 7 and verifying that libnss3.so is located in /usr/lib64 and sure enough the file is present in /usr/lib64 in CentOs 7. Where is 64bit libnss3.so in CentOs 8? Any pointers/advice/insight would be very much appreciated thanks. **UPDATE** I have just done a fresh install of CentOS 8, but still no libnss3.so in /usr/lib64/.

Also after doing a little more digging it seems as though yum in CentOS 8 only offers i686 versions (32bit) of libnss3.so
[test@centos-s-1vcpu-1gb-fra1-01 lib64]#sudo yum whatprovides libnss3.so

Any way i can possibly manually install libnss3.so 64bit?
