Thank you, it appears I was able to fix this problem by doing the following: 1) export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 2) export RPM_FORCE_NPTL=1 3) killall -9 rpm rpmb rpmd rpme rpmi rpmk rpmq rpmt rpmu rpmv; 4) rm -rf /var/lib/rpm*.* /var/lib/rpm/__db* /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb*.*; 5) rpm -v --rebuilddb & These instructions were found at: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21164634 http://beau.org/pipermail/whitebox-users/2004-May/001698.html THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE ON REDHAT'S MAIN FEDORA WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, does anyone have a solution to the ldconfig problem? -->I have been getting this error almost every time I have used RPM in the past couple of days: "ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libkdepim.so.1.0.0.#prelink#.J7eGQz is too small, not checked." Sometimes RPM would complain about more than one file with this error, but this is what I get when I run ldconfig by itself.

Boot first CD in rescue mode, don't enter the chroot, mount your system somewhere, run the working RPM from within the rescue environment together with a proper --root option (e.g. --root /mnt/yoursystem) to reinstall the original RPM packages from CD. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
