rpm
 

i made an rpm installation of the x-term kit.
rpm -ivh filename.rpm
it worked great... I saw that it unpacked the files and so on.
then, it end...:confused:
Well! where is the package now? it doesn't seem to be anywhere!!! but when i try to install it again, it tell's me that the pachage is already installed:confused: :study: :confused:
help.

The package is still where you installed it from.
The contents of the package will be spread out over your hard disk. Do rpm -L packagename (leave off the version information and file extension) to get a list of files it installed)

Try running this command:

rpm -qa | less

This will list all of the rpm's that are installed. See if you can find yours listed. If you do, run this command:

rpm -ql your_rpm_name_here | less

This will list all of the files that were installed from the rpm. Look around the beginning of the list and see if the file name is listed in any of the ' bin ' directories. Like /bin or /usr/bin.
