Hi,

I'm trying to install mysql devel rpm on RHEL 5 and I'm stuck at this
error and cant proceed further.

"error: can't create transaction lock on /"

Output of the command that i'm trying to run is as below.

# rpm -i -vv mysql-devel-5.0.22-2.1.i386.rpm

#

I checked up some other forums and almost all of them suggest the
following solutions:

1) Make sure the command is run as "root" user
2) Make sure /var/lib/rpm/ exists .
3) Make sure other package update tools or managers are not open "such
as yum/a diff rpm install window"

I have checked for all the above and yet cant proceed beyond the
original error mentioned during the start of the message. I also tried
to rebuild the rpm db thinking this could be a problem with the rpm
db. I get the same error for that too.

# rpm -vv --rebuilddb
error: can't create transaction lock on /
D: May free Score board((nil))
#

I'm running all these commands as the "root" user. Please help me in
addressing this problem.

Thanks,
Bala

I solved this problem now. Turns out that the rpmlock_path macro in /
usr/lib/rpm/macros was not defined. So "/" was picked up as the
default path. I added this entry in /usr/lib/rpm/macros and was able
to install again.

# rpm -ivh mysql-devel-5.0.22-2.1.i386.rpm
