[Yum] Installing Yum

[JoAnna Green]

I went through this exercise for RHEL4 box, i386.  This works for me, 
your mileage may vary.  Not using the latest version of yum though so 
you may want to update some of these packages. Methodology should be the 
same.

Download yum-2.4.2-1.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild yum.2.4-2-1.src.rpm
creates /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/yum-2.4.2-1.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh sqlite-2.8.16-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm         (Dag)
rpm -Uvh python-sqlite-0.5.0-1.2.elr4.rf.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-1.2.el4.rf.noaarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh ptyhon-elementtree-1.26-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm   (not sure I 
really needed this one)
rpm -Uvh python-celementtree-1.0.2-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh yum-2.4.2-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh yum-utils-0.3.1-1.fc4.noarch.rpm   ( I need for repository)
rpm -Uvh createrepo-0.3.1-1.noarch.rpm

So I've attempted it on my own, trying both the source (make, make install) and the rpm.  I've also tried rpmbuild --rebuild <package>.  After both attempts I always get the following message:
