Hello everyone, I have RH9 installed on some generic machine which P4 processor. I download rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm from Realplayer website and tried installing it using rpm -ivh. I got the following error messages. Could someone guide me what these mean and how I can get around them. I am trying to install as user rather than root. I guess better questions are why is there an exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages? Do I need to be root to install anything? Is there a way to install something as a user? >>>>> error message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm >>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Thanks all very much. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
