But my application doesnot work well for 32 bit linux. So how to convert 64bit rpm file into 32 bit rpm file. Or how to recreate 32 bit rpm file.

Hi, You will need to have 32bit libraries installed on your machine and while package is being build/compile, compiler will need to get -m32 option. I came across this solution:

CC='gcc -m32' CXX='g++ -m32' linux32 rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i586 package.src.rpm

But I didn't try it myself.

Hops it will help you somehow.
