Installed location of RPM
 
Hi,

I have installed an Rpm.
Wan't to find out the location where it get installed.
rpm -ql <rmp>
will give the list of file.
Don't wan't this approach.

Is there a command which will tell me the location where the rpm got installed.

Thanks

Which distro are you using?
How did you install the rpm?

Which approach would you like? The rpm -ql command gives the location of all the installed files. Grep for bin if you want the name of the executables. Or if you already know the name of the main executable, use which to discover its location.

It's RED HAT.

I have installed the rpm via
rpm -ivh <rpm_name>

Isn't there any alternative like the solaris "pkginfo -r" command which gives the basedir of the package.

Thanks

No there isn't, so if you want one you could write a filtering alias, function or script yourself.

Okie,

Probably an enhancement for the RPM guys. :rolleyes:

Could sure try: get on the RPM devel list and spill your guts there. Let's see them deal with you rolling your eyes, heh.

You can use 'rpm2cpio xxzzy.rpm | cpio --list'.

i would look in
/usr/bin
/usr/lib
/usr/share
/usr/include

this is the default path
