I've recently built a LFS 64bit system and only put the additional requirements onto the system to compile RPM.
I'm kinda stuck, getting the db initialized. I've got rpm installed and repackaged itself, i.e. I've recompiled rpm with itself using rpm into the first rpm pkg. However I can not install RPMs. I must be missing something to jump start the setup. -bash-4.2# rpm --rebuilddb rpmdb: BDB1546 unable to join the environment error: db_init:db3.c:1085: dbenv->open(11): Resource temporarily unavailable error: cannot open Packages(0) index: Resource temporarily unavailable(11) DB: Berkeley DB 5.3.15: (December 19, 2011) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm I've been scouring over the changelog and examples / INSTALL etc. They all seem to be kinda outdated, ranging from citing an incorrect DB version to be used with rpm and so forth. So is there something that I should be aware of. Matthew could you use a hand with getting someone looking at the documentation side of things? I think I could manage that. -- Tobias Gerschner Yoper Linux - www.yoper-linux.org Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
