When I try to install rpm package, I get an error.
Code:
error: can't create transaction lock on /

Rpm version is 4.4.6-r6 of i686.
What's the meaning of that?

No idea what the error means, but I suggest using the standard way to install a RPM package on Gentoo:

rpm2targz foo.rpm, and then copy stuff to /

To keep things clean, just write a simple ebuild using rpm.eclass
