[Yum] Issue with python for yum on RHEL4 x86_64 system.

Hello,

	I'm trying to get yum installed on an internal RHEL4 update 4
x86_64 system.  I installed 
python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.2.1.i386.rpm -from CentOs
python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.i386.rpm -from CentOs
python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2.noarch.rpm -from CentOs
redhat-yumconf-4-4.7.el4.noarch.rpm -created in-house
sqlite-3.3.3-1.2.i386.rpm -from CentOs
yum-2.4.3-1.c4.noarch.rpm -from CentOs

However, when I run yum I get the cElementTree error on Python below.
Yet I do see a file "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cElementTree.so".
Do I need an x86_64 version of elementtree ?  Any help or pointers on
getting yum working with RHEL4 x86_64 would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Sam

Error;

yum list
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cElementTree.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.3.4 (#1, Feb  6 2006, 10:38:45) 
[GCC 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)]
