I'm trying to install tomcat by typing
$ rpm -ivv tomcat4-4.1.24-full.2jpp.noarch.rpm then I see D: ============== tomcat4-4.1.24-full.2jpp.noarch.rpm D: Expected size: 4118895 = lead(96)+sigs(241)+pad(7)+data(4118551) D: Actual size: 4118895 D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0 then terminal locks up, cntrl-c does not work, but a new terminal does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ rpm -ivv tomcat4-4.1.24-full.2jpp.src.rpm D: ============== tomcat4-4.1.24-full.2jpp.src.rpm D: Expected size: 3616450 = lead(96)+sigs(241)+pad(7)+data(3616106) D: Actual size: 3616450 D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0 same thing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ rpm --rebuilddb terminal locks up, cntrl-c ineffective. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rpm -ivv Maelstrom-3.0.5-5.i386.rpm same thing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everything seems to work fine, Apache server is up and running, hosting a website @ parazen.bio.indiana.edu yet I can't seem to do anything related to the rpms, what is going on? And why are only the rpm aspects of linux messed up (at least I think only the rpm functions are messed up). FYI I've tried a dozen rpm installations, nothing. All different files. thanks for your help. By the way this is my first post so I hope I've done everything right. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
