Folks,
I get this error when running the rpm's for MQ on linux.Is it because i did not set the umask to 022? it is at 0002 now.The user 'mqm' is in the 'mqm' group and the directories "/var/mqm" and "/opt/mqm" is owned by 'mqm / mqm'.
********
rpm -ivh MQSeriesRuntime-5.3.0-2.i386.rpm
error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm |

You have to apply the rpms as root.

Yes - or be able to sudo the rpm command. Likewise, you have to be a member of the Administrator's group on Windows in order to install MQ on Windows.

Yes, on each of the UNIX platforms we use the system installer ( installp, rpm, pkgadd, swinstall ) which all require root.
