Where did the program install to?

[blubomber]

I just installed Opera 7.2 on my Mandrake 9.2. I am just getting back into linux after being away for about a year. Opera was a rpm package and i used the rpm command to install it. Now, where did it go? I cannot find it.

Thanks for any help.

You should be able to launch it by just typing opera.

To see where the binary is installed type "which opera"

It is probably in /usr/bin/opera though.

thanks jkrohn.

I found it and it is working good.

to get a list of the files it installed do a rpm -ql opera

[blubomber]

thanks pbharris, that is a good tip.

I used it on opera and some other programs i have installed. Very interesting. I like to know where things are going.

Thanks again.

If using KDE, Opera puts a shortcut in your network->www folder on your start bar.

Another handy program is whereis:

richard@nexus richard $ whereis bash
bash: /bin/bash /usr/man/man1/bash.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz

richard@nexus richard $ whereis mozilla
mozilla: /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/lib/mozilla /usr/include/mozilla

(I don't have opera installed because I don't use it, or I would have used that as the example.)
Hopefully that's helpful to someone, and it works on many more systems than the rpm -ql as it doesn't depend on rh's package format being used.
