Angry installing rpm's help


I am attemtping to install firestarter and keep getting a message that it is already installed. But when I do a verify it says not installed.

[root@mcbain /]# rpm -Uvh firestarter*rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package firestarter-0.8.3-1 is already installed

then I do, and it says
[root@mcbain /]# rpm -V firestarter-0.8.3-1.i386.rpm
package firestarter-0.8.3-1.i386.rpm is not installed

I do a
[root@mcbain /]# find / -name firestarter*
/firestarter-0.8.3-1.i386.rpm. Nothing.

What am I doing wrong?
Running RH 7.3.

thanks,
Jay

It's not part of RH install. You have GTK 1.2 installed right now, you can goto www.gtk.org and get the tarballs / RPMs for GTK 2.0. You can have both 1.2 and 2.0 installed at the same time.

Well come to find out we don't have X windows installed and this requires it.
Correct?
