Hello!
I delete splunk using:
rpm -e splunk
rm -r /opt/splunk

After i download splunk-6.0.3-204106-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm and install:
rpm -i /tmp/splunk-6.0.3-204106-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm

Installtion is complete.
When I use /opt/splunk/bim/splunk start, I have error:

Splunk rev. 9.11.2013
Do you agree with this license? [y/n]: y

This appears to be your first time running this version of Splunk.
Traceback (most recent call last):

I resolve this problem.
When use rpm -e splunk, you need to log off from OS.
And log on again, install splunk and all working.
Thanks.
