Try this instead: ps -axw | grep -i mysql This should list all packages installed which have 'mysql' as a substring, regardless of case-folding (hint: 'man grep' is your friend) [...] > $ rpm -qi MySQL-4.0.12-0.src.rpm > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > $ package MySQL-4.0.12-0.src.rpm is not installed When trying to query package info, don't use the _package file name_ to obtain the info. 'rpm -qi MySQL' should give you the info ou need.
