Where do the rpm's go?

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.
