rpm installation problem
 

As I am newbie i am familiar with rpm commands and using RH9. i can download rpm files from the internet, i can unpack them but when i reach install option nothing works

I used ./configure......nothing happens
i used make...nothing
i used make install...

Can anyone guide me what should i do to just install. I would be so grateful.

I think you've got a bit confused up there :). rpm's cannot unpacked, it's a binary package. You simply install it with rpm -Uvh <name.rpm> command. When you compile a program from source you use the ./configure. Look into this thread:

to learn how to install programs in Linux.

Good luck!
