Find Installed Location of RPM Package in Unix

Using rpm -qa | grep -i <pkgname> gives if a package is installed or not.

But, I would like to find out where a package is already installed i.e the location where a particular package is installed say /opt/<pkg>

Please help me on this...!

Many thanks in advance...

To list the files in a package:

Code:

rpm -ql <pkgname>

Welcome to LinuxQuestions!

The question should be: where a package installed stuff. The default locations are /usr/bin for binary executables, /usr/lib for shared objects on a 32-bit OS, /usr/lib64 on a 64-bit OS, /usr/share/doc for documentation files and so on. You can find out using

Code:

rpm -ql <package>
