You may need to point rpm to the location of your RPM database if it's not the default of "/var/lib/rpm". Do a
to find it, and then use the commandCode:locate *lib*rpm
or whatever path you found. Does this work?Code:rpm -i --dbpath /usr/lib/rpm g*.rpm

Sorry this is becoming a pain in the ass for everyone...
It appears as though the .rpm library or whatnot is in /var/lib/rpm:
Code:[marcus@localhost marcus]$ locate *lib*rpm /var/lib/rpm /usr/lib/rpm /usr/lib/vfs/2.0/extfs/rpm /usr/lib/vfs/2.0/extfs/trpm
