To find dynamic libraries requred by an executable use:

ldd <file_name>

To find out path where executable will look for library use:

readelf -d <file_name> | grep RPATH

Many times on x86_64 systems the library could be installed but it may be 64-bit version installed in /lib64 or /usr/lib64. To install equivalent version of library in /lib or /usr/lib, use yum to install same package with 'i686' appended to name. For example, 'libstdc++-devel.i686' Note that many times RPATH may include $ORIGIN which means relative to executables location.
