Im currently using Red Hat 9, I'm Removing a package (Gnome Software Development) but an error occurs, it says:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following package could not be found on your system.
Installation cannot continue until it is installed.

fontconfig-devel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can i fix this problem?? Where can i find this package?? i already looked in the redhat cds but i cant seem to find it..

any help will be greatly appreciated... thnx in advance....

Try rebuilding the rpm database (this will take a minute or two):
rpm --rebuilddb

Then check that the package is installed using:
rpm -qa | grep libgnome-devel

Configure network:
redhat-config-network

I tried it but an error occured... it says:

error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy

I also tried the links.... i found the fontconfig-devel, but when i tried to install it..... it says: fontconfig-devel is already installed.....

I still can't remove the package im trying to remove....

That is a known bug and is harmless:

It should still have rebuilt the database - try checking to see if the packages are installed.
rpm -qa | grep libgnome-devel
rpm -qa | grep fontconfig-devel
