You should try rpm 4.4.9 or rpm 5.0.0.  Either of those will be much
easier to compile on Solaris than 4.4.7 was.  I used 4.4.7 for quite
a while on Solaris 10, but it wasn't trivial to build, and most of
the fixes I needed ended up making it into 4.4.9.

You also should make sure you're using a relatively recent version of
Berkeley DB.
