Mike,

You are installing a source RPM (SRPM), not a binary one.  Installing an
SRPM puts things into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, and
that's all.  Unless you want to build it from source (which can be
educational), then you need to find something that looks like
openssh-3.1p1-1.s390.rpm.

Subject: RPM troubles


Hello,

I'm trying to install the openssh package on my linux guest machine.
When I run the rpm command to install the package, it looks to me as
though it works, but I can't find that it installed anything.

Here's a ls command of everything in my directory where I stored
the openssh package I downloaded.

[root@linuxtst openssh]# ls -l
total 824
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       838269 Apr 15 17:21
openssh-3.1p1-1.src.rpm

Here's the response I get from my rpm command.

[root@linuxtst openssh]# rpm -ivh openssh-3.1p1-1.src.rpm
openssh
##################################################
[root@linuxtst openssh]#

Is there a log somewhere I can look in to see what's not happening?  What
should I try next?

Thanks for your help.
