Yes, It is supposed to be the other way around.

Are you 100% sure that you are under 64 bit fedora?

uname -a

should tell you that the kernel is 64 bit or not:

jmd0 ~ # uname  -a
Linux jmd0.comcast.net
2.6.26.8-openvz-ext4-tickless-00008-ga65ea96-dirty #28 SMP Sat Feb 7
17:3553 EST 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

the difference is a 32 bit kernel will have x86 instead of x86_64
