I downloaded some rpm files for RH9 and wanted to install them

when I run them a message box apppers that reading header information and after that it disppears and nothing happens?

did they get installed or not , if they did than how can I run the installed package and if didn't than how can I install them?

The package manager in Redhat 9 was very buggy. If you can get your hands on a release of Fedora, I believe it's better than trying to use a product thats no longer supported. Anyway to install rpms, do

#rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm

That command will show you whether the program installed or if there any problem, it'll print them out.
