[Cialug] rpm issues

[David Courard-Hauri]

So, I'm embarassed to be confused by rpm.

I downloaded gcc-3.3.3-41.src.rpm from the SUSE site. I figured I could 
install that and then maybe run the gcc configure on the gcc 4.0 files I got 
from the GNU site if I needed more libraries and stuff.

I type:

> rpm -vi gcc-3.3.3-41.src.rpm

and get:

> gcc-3.3.3-41

So I think things are OK. But then I try:

> rpm -q gcc-3.3.3-41

and it says:

> package gcc-3.3.3-41 is not installed

So I try:

> rpm -qa | grep cc

and get:

> libgcc-3.3.3-41

So I think I've done something, but not what I wanted to do. I still don't 
have a gcc command--I suppose my path could be wrong, but I doubt it. Am I 
missing something obvious?
