Hi there, I'm running a 6.2 64 bit system and I need to install the 32 bit termcap package but it is not in the regular repositories, ¿can anyone help me please?

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.

The termcap facility is obsolete. The replacement is terminfo. The compat-libtermcap package does provide /etc/termcap and there are i686 and x86_64 packages:
[code]# yum provides /etc/termcap
Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
compat-libtermcap-2.0.8-49.el6.i686 : A basic system library for accessing the
: termcap database
Repo : base
Matched from:
Filename : /etc/termcap

compat-libtermcap-2.0.8-49.el6.x86_64 : A basic system library for accessing the
: termcap database
Repo : base
Matched from:
Filename : /etc/termcap
[/code]
So
[code]yum install compat-libtermcap.i686[/code]
