What is this "restorecon" I don't have this at all.
And what should this tool do? is it like a program which is primarily used to set the security context (extended attributes) on one or more files.
Do you got this on your Install at all FC5?
Can you find it with "locate" after you did an updatedb ?

it's smthg that has got to do with writing policies.
but it's needed in the installation of an rpm.

Thanks i'v just managed to find it with locate: but then when i type
restorecon: its says command not found. it only works when i type:
/sbin/restorecon. how do i solve this?

you've to be root. or you change to root as normal user with

Code:

su -

But if your logged in as root already you should check your path variables.

i just installed libpri, zaptel and asterisk successfully
but when i run rpm -q libpri
it says package not found, how do i resolve this?

Do you want to search for this package or do you want to install it?
If you want to search it try

Code:

rpm -qa | grep libpri

and if you install rpm -ivh or rpm -Uvh
