Sounds like Sam has had to fix this kind of thing too often.
David, the core lesson here is: never install stuff you compile and
build yourself in the vendor namespace (/, /usr etc). Use a --prefix
of /usr/local or /opt/package-version or something like that.
There is another equally important lesson:
NEVER use --nodeps with rpm unless you *really* know what you're doing.
The dependencies in rpm are there for a reason. If you tried removing
the package without "--nodeps", rpm would give a list of packages that
depend on what you're trying to remove. That list of packages is a
first-level list of things you can expect to break if you remove the
package with "--nodeps". Seeing "rpm" on that list should ring big, fat
alarm bells...
Paul.
