Hi, Try the command rpm -q packagename here packagename is the name of the package which you want to query. The package name should not have the .rpm extension. For example, to check whether you have installed ncurses package in your Linux box, at the shell prompt, type: rpm -q ncurses You will get the full name of the package toghether with its version number if the ncurses package is installed in your computer. To install a package, at the shell prompt, type: rpm -i packagename.rpm For more information please find time to read the man page of rpm command using the command: man rpm Regards RISHI TANDON --
