Please Ralf, could you help me here. I did the same as Pete describe below, and I got the same result. When I tried "rpm --rebuilddb" it fails because it couldn't find some libraries. The rpm-tarball contains a statically linked rpm binary, but rpmdb is dynamically linked, could you please provide me with a statically linked rpmdb binary, that would be great. /Carsten ppopov@pacbell.net wrote: > Carsten Langgaard wrote: > > > > Hi Pete > > > > Did you managed to get through the installation of the RedHat 7.0 packages ? > > I would like to do something similar. > > I haven't had time to try again.
