Install problems
 
I am running RH9 and gnome and everytime i try to install a program nothing happens either with the rpm by clicking on the icon or from the command line while root ( su - ) I dont get any error messages just nothing happens. Anyone have any idea why this is happening :confused:
and i have already deleted the __db files. thanks

What about from the command line, running RPM from there:

rpm -ivh packagename.rpm

Yes i have tried that over and over and nothing happens, i thought it was just this one rpm but then i have tried over 6 different installs and i get nothing.

after typing:
rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
did you try:
rpm -vv --rebuilddb
and then try the rpm from command line:
rpm -ivh packagename.rpm
and see if you at least get an error?

No, I will try that, thanks

Wow that sure did fix my problem, Thanks but one little problem arose, My scripts dont work now, i only had 4. Do i need to fix the /bash/profile or something?
