Hi,
the problem seams to be this:

CODE

---> Package expat-devel.x86_64 0:2.1.0-8.el7 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: expat = 2.1.0-8.el7 for package: expat-devel-2.1.0-8.el7.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package expat.i686 0:2.1.0-8.el7 will be installed

for some reason the 64bit package expat-devel require 32bit expat and then 32bit expat require 32bit glibc - and this result in conflict with 64bit glibc.

This seams to be something wrong with the 'expat-devel.x86_64 0:2.1.0-8.el7'

Try to upgrade it first - there is newer version of it now. I see:
'expat-devel.x86_64 0:2.1.0-10.el7_3' on my laptop.

try:

CODE

yum update expat-devel

and then run the install again
