Hi Pat: There are at least three approaches you can use to find nearly any installed package. Try not to feel too silly, as I've asked similar questions myself regarding other packages. Here's the three most common search strategies which you can do within YDL in looking for an installed package. One useful trick is to use the *, the wildcard symbol; here's some ways to use it. Let's suppose we're looking for embedspu or ibm or sdk here are some strategies:
$whereis *em*u or $whereis *ibm* Explanation: The wildcard before the first character acts as a "catch-all" in the event the package you are looking for contains an unexpected prefix name. Likewise a wildcard after a character similarly will find any name containing ibm with an additional suffix. You can also try: $locate *em*u Explanation: The locate function lists anything comprising the name you are search for regardless where it is. In the event that the package you are looking for isn't installed you can use yum to do your searching for you: #yum info em*u You need to make sure that yum.conf has a wide enough listing of URLs to investigate so that you can insure that your search is as complete as possible. All the best... On Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at 4:34 PM, Patrick ODonnell < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OK Derick, > > This is Pat ODonnell, another newbie.
