Hi,
I'm trying to install mysql devel rpm on RHEL 5 and I'm stuck at this error and cant proceed further.
"error: can't create transaction lock on /"
Output of the command that i'm trying to run is as below.

I checked up some other forums and almost all of them suggest the
following solutions:
1) Make sure the command is run as "root" user
2) Make sure /var/lib/rpm/ exists .
3) Make sure other package update tools or managers are not open "such as yum/a diff rpm install window"
I have checked for all the above and yet cant proceed beyond the original error mentioned at the beginning of this post. I also tried to rebuild the rpm db thinking this could be a problem with the rpm db. I get the same error for that too.
# rpm -vv --rebuilddb
error: can't create transaction lock on /
D: May free Score board((nil))
#
I'm running all these commands as the "root" user. Please help me in addressing this problem.
Thanks,
