Re: redhat 7.0

[Carsten Langgaard <carstenl@mips.com>]

Please Ralf, could you help me here.
I did the same as Pete describe below, and I got the same result.

When I tried "rpm --rebuilddb" it fails because it couldn't find some libraries.
The rpm-tarball contains a statically linked rpm binary, but rpmdb is dynamically
linked, could you please provide me with a statically linked rpmdb binary, that would
be great.
