When I use rpm -ivh filename-ver_no-i386.rpm

how can I know where the files has got installed?

I have installed lapack-3.02.18-i386.rpm

and I would like to use the subroutines in the package...

I use the following command to compile:

g77 filename.f -ldxml
(I dont know if this method of linking is corredct or not? I read it somewhere and tried to use that...)

In C programming I use cc filename.c -lm to link math.h

But the following message comes up when I am trying to link in fortran...

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldxml
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Hope some one can help me compile my programs...

Immediately following installing with RPM do this (as root)

#locate -u

This will take a few minutes to rebuild your locate database. Switch back to your normal user and then do

$locate the-file-you-are-looking-for

Thanking for locate -u stuff...

But could someone let me know how I can compile the programs that use LAPACK subroutines. I have put a fight for 2 days and "g77 filename.f -ldxml" is what I understood has to be used... but that doesn't work fine...

hope someone can help me in this regard...

I m using hp xw-6000 with OS rh9 on i386.
When I s making LAPACK3.0 but there had occured a trouble which is following
ar: sgbbrd.o: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [single] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vinayak/LAPACK/SRC'
make: *** [lapacklib] Error 2.
Can anybody guide me on his issue?
