Anyone get Ximian Gnome working on Roswell, all I get is errors about how
the installer can't lock the rpm database, yet nothing else has it open.

Was thinking I would try install from source rpms but I have no idea in
which order to install.

RPMs must be installed as root.

Try upgrading to RPMs from RH 7.2 (not rawhide, those don't work either).
