I just attempted to install zenoss on a Red Hat EL 5 86_64 box. I grabbed the 
rpm from source forge labeled: zenoss-2.1.2-0.el5.x86_64.rpm. First did a yum 
install of net-snmp. It appears to have installed succesfully. Then 

sudo rpm -ivh zenoss-2.1.2-0.el5.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
useradd: cannot create directory /home/zenoss
error: %pre(zenoss-2.1.2-0.el5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping zenoss-2.1.2-0.el5

So I made /home/zenoss and tried again
-bash-3.1$ sudo mkdir /home/zenoss

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
useradd: user zenoss exists
   1:zenoss                 ########################################### [100%]
grep: /home/zenoss/.bashrc: No such file or directory

There are some things installed, but it looks very incomplete.

Anyone have any recommendations on -- 
a) is there a way to force the install?
b) is there a way to fix the current install?
c) is the way to back out of the install is rpm -e ?
d) if I back out the rpm install, is there a better rpm to use, or should I try 
a source install?
