help with rpm upgrade



Guys - I'm at the end of my tether - I need help desperately!
 
I'm running RedHat 6.1 at home, and want to install some neat stuff that I got off the net as rpm files.
 
First problem: my version of rpm cannot install the new rpm files. "OK", I thought, "I'll upgrade the rpm program". Got hold of rpm-4.0.2.i386.rpm and tried to install it - same problem.

So you can't use your old rpm program to upgrade the rpm program - seems a bit silly since that is the whole point of rpm. I did not give up and got hold of rpm-4.0.2.i386.tar.gz, and installed it - no problem.

Tried to use for the first time - got the error message that it requires libdb-3.1.so. Ok, so I get it.
Next try, now it requires libbz2.so.1.
 
I get the distinct impression that I must upgrade some or other library - but which one?
 
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
 
Regards
Hagen
