If you have that xterm open, check in /mnt/cdrom/ to see if there's an RPMS
directory or a RedHat/RPMS directory. It's likely that you are trying to, or
have, installed the source RPM. This will not install the executables, but
will rather install the tarball and the RPM configuration files. To deal with
a source RPM, I think you do an "rpm --rebuild <source RPM name>.rpm", but
that's the harder way to do it.
Where did you get the CD-ROM? CheapBytes, LinuxMall, ??

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
