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?

(This is starting to look like there's going to be a linux_lib-2.7 
soon...)
