Try "rpm -ql pavcl_linux |less" to get a list of all files and where rpm put them. You may see in the list a "README" file which may give you some clues as to how to run the program. You should also look for any program that was placed in any /bin /sbin or /usr/sbin as these are the executables. Also, run updatedb, then run "locate pavcl" this will tell you where that file is (assuming it exists). IMHO linux is not "stupid", it does require a greater knowledge from its users, however, and can (especially for newbies like me and you) be a little frustrating. It is odd that you are having this much problem with a commercial product though! I would expect that they would have good documentation at the least.
