[ELDK] Problem installing eldk 4.1 arm

I have done this, but nothing changed. "/home/eldk/bin" is
empty anyhow.

Fine!

I've downloaded and tried it, but I got even more trouble.
Besides the known "Disabling installation script message", I
got: "error: can't create transaction lock on /". Nothing
changes if I execute install as root.

I have attached the strace output of the installation
process, maybe it is of help. You can see that
/home/eldk/usr/usr/lib/rpm/rpmq is not found. This is true,
because it is not there, not even on a different location
found in PATH.
