Yes, the simplest might be to rebuild the RPMS for your machine,

Get the following source rpms from ftp.coda,

    /pub/lwp/redhat-linux/SRPMS/lwp-1.10-1.src.rpm
    /pub/rpc2/redhat-linux/SRPMS/rpc2-1.14-1.src.rpm
    /pub/rvm/redhat-linux/SRPMS/rvm-1.7-1.src.rpm
    /pub/coda/linux/SRPMS/coda-debug-5.3.20-1.src.rpm

Then (as root) do,

    rpm --rebuild lwp-1.10-1.src.rpm
    rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/i386/lwp*

    rpm --rebuild rpc2-1.14-1.src.rpm
    rpm --rebuild rvm-1.7-1.src.rpm
    rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/i386/rpc2*
    rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/i386/rvm*

    rpm --rebuild coda-debug-5.3.20-1.src.rpm

And you'll have the coda-debug-{client,server}-5.3.20-1.i386.rpm files
in /usr/src/redhat/i386.

However, I should figure out what is wrong with the rpms you installed.
And finding that problem might end up less work on your side.
    Which rpms did you install? 
    Can you send me the output of ldd /usr/sbin/pdbtool

You could also send me a tarball with the user and group databases. I
can probably export the user and group from them with a correctly linked
version of pdbtool which you can then import into a clean database.
