You do not have to uninstall from the same directory, but you do have to do it
as root.
Did you install the packages from a binary rpm?
What kind of messages does "rpm -qa" return, it should list all of the
packages that you have installed.
Is it possible that you clobbered some of the files in /var/lib/rpm/ ?
