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.
