Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 00:30:36 -0800 From: Mike Smith Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm struggling with the IBM DB2 installer at the moment; they're wholesale sold on the RPM thing, which isn't necessarily a bad idea, however it means amongst other things that you need a functional rpm on your system, as well as a pile of RPMs installed (including some of the base system ones). The rpm binary from RedHat's 5.2 release segfaults on exit, unfortunately, which upsets the installer no end... Any suggestions?
