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.
