Checking installed packages?
 
Hi all,

Whats the easiest way to check the current installed packages?

The reason I ask is that I'm trying to install some software from source, and whenever i issue the 'make' command, Linux doesn't recognise it. I presume this is because i don't have the Make package?

Could any of you lovely people out there shed any light on the matter :-)

Cheers,

Nick

then try it

Yeah, install gcc and you should be able to make. As for checking rpm packages, rpm -qa should do it.

OK.... cheers for the reply guys.

Am I right in thinking these above methods will only query packages installed via the RPM methods?

How about checking for which have been compiled and installed from source, i.e. tar.gz's?
