Dear all
I've just uninstall some software on linux. Unfortunately , after that rpm command could not work. When I run rpm command, terminal displays : -bash: rpm: command not found.
I'm using redhat 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 1 01:33:01 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Pls help me to install rpm command again ( without reinstall OS)

Regards

Copy the binaries from a live-stick.

what command did you use?
and did you READ!!! the warnings?
and did you use the VERY DANGEROUS " -y" option ?

the "-y" option in yum if removing software can REMOVE 90+percent of the operating system and NOT !!! inform you that it is about to do that


reinstall the operating system would be the FASTEST option

or
READ the yum log for a list of things uninstalled
then manually reinstall them

might take a week or three



you almost NEVER use "rpm" to install and uninstall software
8 years back YUM was created to install and uninstall software on rpm based distros
RHEL 4.5 and newer

you use YUM

Dear John VV
I'm new with linux, so pls help me to solve this problem.
Now, I can not use rpm for install rpm packet, so for manually reinstall those packet, could you guide me to do?

Regards

this is the NOT FREE RHEL6
so you DID buy the REQUIRED support contract ?
RIGHT ?

if you did not buy the required contract -- basically you do NOT install anything not on the install dvd

the standard one year contract is $299 per year ( there is a $49 self support one )

if you did not buy the support contract and are NOT going to then do not use RHEL

-- there are NO "if's and's or but's" on that

or


install the FREE clone of the redhat code
CentOS 6.7 or the current 7.1


also PLEASE!!! do not spell "please" as "pls"
you learned how to spell please in the FIRST GRADE

if you are not going to reinstall

and if you NEVER!!!! ( VERY IMPORTANT!!! ) ever ran a normal UPDATE

you can use the install dvd to manauly "copy/paste" the contents of the rpm's
to there install locations


but there is one option you might be able to do

pop in the install dvd
and select "UPGRADE an existing OS "

that should reinstall the the things you uninstalled ? maybe ?

My 2 cents:
If its a debian based distro you wont have rpm. What distro are you using?
If its a debian distro try pkgtool or setup to install packages. You could also try apt-get install rpm

What? Better read what it says as he clearly showed us he's using a RHEL kernel...


Note you didn't answer any questions asked. That is not a good thing.


Boot the system with the installer CD in rescue mode then either "repair" the installation or manually install RPM. You really should read the basic user and admin documentation your Linux distribution provides and think before you do (though that should be obvious you you now ;-p).

I do not get the problems here. He just needs to "copy in" an el6-rpm-binary and then force-install a fitting "rpm"-rpm-package with this. This should take less than a minute! After that he has rpm and access to his rpm-db again and can repair the rest in a proper way.
