Hi, I needed to install an RPM and got an error saying I couldn't install version 4 RPMs with my RPM. So I went to download the latest RPM 4 I could find on rpmfind.net. When I tried to install it,k I got a lot of dependencies problems. So, I decided to compile and install it instead. So I got the source and started compiling. ANd in my infinite wisdom, while I was compiling I decided to remove the RPM 3 version on my system. Well, Murphy made a stop around my laptop and I was unable to compile the RPM 4 stuff (something about missing library definitions; looks like the libdb on my machine doesn't work with RPM 4). So now, I have a system with no RPM installed. I need to bootstrap an installation. But of course, in order to install an RPM, I need RPM installed already. So since I couldn't compile RPM 4 to get around this problem, how do I bootstrap an installation of RPNM 4? Anyone have an idea?
