Where do the rpm's go?

Hi Charlie,

I'm not sure what you are saying.  You can find out where any file will 
be stored in a rpm by:
rpm -qlp [rpm-filename]
As far as where .h files go, this is very standardized.  For user space 
applications they will go into /usr/include or one of /usr/include's 
subdirectories.  As far as database applications are concerned, the 
wealth and sophistication of databases on Linux simply blows away 
anything we ever had under DOS.That includes programming interfaces to 
the database.
