installing rpm on LFS 6.1


ok, i just installed LFS 6.1 and know want to use RPM as my package manager (please don't ask why, i have my reasons ;-) )
i downloaded a source rpm and extracted the source (tar.gz) archive from it (version 4.2)
as i tried to compile it, i got some errors... searching on the net, i found out, that it had to do with libelf, i didn't hat that installed. after installing libelf, i got another error withing rpmmodule.c. again searching, i found out, that it had to do with the "python-part" of rpm.
so i installed python, but that didn't solve the problem, so i disabled python support (configure --without-python)
after that another error arised, and this time i could not find any informations on the net, so you are my last hope
make fails with the following error(s):

did you read up on package management in the BLFS book? also there is a "hints" section that LFS users have written that should help.........

yes, i know about other possibilities of package managing but i want rpm!^^
ok, i looked at the rpm hint and it tells about some other dependencies, which i havn't installed yet.
i'll install them and try again

sorry for the late reply, i had nearly no time the last days (holidays are over... ^^").
at last i could solve thr problem! :-)

after installing the dependencies listed in the hint, it still didn't work...
i forgot to copy some headers from the libdwarf >.<", this solved the problems with the "DW_FORM_* undeclared" errors.
to solve the "ELF_C_RDWR_MMAP error, i just changed the reference to it in the debugedit.c file to ELF_C_RDWR, which was defined in libelf.h
then more problems arised... i had to add libelf.a to the linker flags, because gcc didn't link rpm to it, so it found a lot of undefined functions...
but now it works!!!^^

thank you for your help and again, sorry for my bad english^^
