find commands

I need to find out if I have libpcre installed on my machine. I used "rpm -qa |grep libpcre" but I got nothing. Is there any other good way to check?

then try rpm -qa |grep pcre

If you have the locate database installed and up-to-date, you could run

Code:

locate libpcre

--- rod.

Sometimes rpms have mixed case names, so I always use grep -i (ie case-insensitive)

What distribution are you using? If it has yum, you can also do

Code:

#yum list | grep -i pcre

Yum will show you whether its installed or not (in which case it will show which repository you can find it).
