It's a "src.rpm" (source rpm) which doesn't get installed the normal way. It's just extracted like an archive. If you've used root without modifying your RPM configuration, find the extracted files below /usr/src/redhat. Source rpms contains the source code and build scripts needed to build binary packages. Instead, you want to download the i686.rpm (or athlon.rpm, i586.rpm, and so on) which would be a precompiled package. -- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
