Problems installing/setting up subversion server

I can't seem to track down the root cause/solution to what appears to
be a DB error.  First, when I run: rpm -Uvh <filename>.rpm  I get
something of the following

root@vps [/home/softeng/Subversion]# rpm -Uvh db42-utils-4.2.52-0.1.i386.rpm
error: failed to stat proc: No such file or directory
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:db42-utils             ########################################### [100%]

I receive the stat proc error on all .rpm files.  Still, the overall
installation seemed successful, so I tried to create a repository and
got the following

root@vps [/home/softeng/Subversion]# svnadmin create
/home/softeng/Subversion/fakeProj
svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem
/home/softeng/Subversion/fakeProj/db:
Invalid argument

When I run svn --version it confirms that I do have the ra-local
module, so at this point I am lost as to where the problem is coming
from.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Haley

Do you have the proc filesystem mounted and is it readable? If yes, take a 
look at the output from 'strace rpm ....' and what exactly fails. Processes 
might need information from it to work properly, so you'd best fix that first 
and see if it makes any difference.
