Redhat install problems

I've been running RH9, just did a fresh install on the system (with the SGI XFS cd), and after installing everything rpm is broken. Not an rpm, but the actual program rpm. Error message:

rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily unavailable (11)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
warning: up2date-3.1.23.2-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e


This is a completely new installation, I've used these rh9 cds before and didn't have any problems. I thought it was the up2date SSL certificate expiring, but rpm just doesn't work.

Solution? I've reinstalled a couple times, keep geting this error.
 
I am root, /var is mounted as rw, and I can do an ls in /var/lib/rpm.

I tried rpm --rebuilddb, gave the same error. I also tried deleting the __db.001 file, no effect.

I have no idea what the problem is...
 
Well, it said to get a new version of rpm from ftp.rpm.org. Problem is that I can't install it because it's an rpm. Is there a source version somewhere? Seems to me you can't install rpm without having rpm...
