I have built RPM 4.7.0 and installed it as per the instructions in the INSTALL file, culminating in a successful call to “make install”. My linux is “from scratch”, the kernel version is 2.6.27.4. Following the install of RPM I can see the database files in /var/lib/rpm. I'm trying to install software that requires RPM (Intel Vtune), but the software's install.sh script displays the following error: ERROR: Cannot get shared lock on RPM Database. Does anyone know why this might be, or how to diagnose? I have previously executed "sudo su -" Rob.
