Since your current RPM is broken, you'll probably have to compile it from source (I hope you have gcc and make installed)

How do I know if I do?

Thanks for all of this help by the way

EDIT: I'm pretty sure I do, this is what happens when i just put in those commands.

[root@localhost ~]# gcc
gcc: no input files
[root@localhost ~]# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[root@localhost ~]#

Type and respectively. If you get command not found, you don't have them installed.

Ok so I do, where do I obtain the source code, I tried rpm.org but there ftp locations aren't working.

Here:
ftp://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo/...m-4.2.1.tar.gz

Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so( manual pages.

No, it didn't install all the way...Odd

[root@localhost ~]# ldd /usr/bin/rpm
ldd: /usr/bin/rpm: No such file or directory

however, I found a folder called rpm in usr/local/lib/rpm/

It has 4 files adn they all start with magic

Jordan_Hounsell

Shouldn't I remove the other rpm first? How do I do that?
