Hey Charlie, I am extremely confused by what you are talking about. First of all, you can tell where all of the files in a particular rpm are going to be installed by: rpm -qlp [rpm-filename] Where rpm-filename is the name of your rpm file. As far as the locations of .h files, this is very standard, in /usr/include or one of /usr/include's subdirectories.If it weren't, the C or C++ compiler would have a hard time in finding them if the directory wasn't specified in your $PATH variable! In fact, without looking at the gcc man page, I'm not even sure it uses $PATH. Databases in Linux are more powerful, easier to use and just as accessible as anything that was available in MSDOS. 29 Jul 2002, Charles Crawford wrote: > thanks for the confirmation of what I thought.
