Redhat Library locations

I'm about to go the hell damn mad.

I have a redhat server. new to it. am a windows guy.

i am trying to find out where the following scripts have been installed on the server.

ffmpeg
ffmpeg-php
lame mp3 encoder
flv2tool

now the server setup installed these. can you tell me their default directory installed locations for redhat?

Try using locate: -

locate ffmpeg
locate ffmpeg-php
locate "lame mp3 encoder"
locate flv2tool

evilrix

If that fails try find...

find / -name <FILENAME> -print

e.g.

find / -name ffmpeg -print
find / -name ffmpeg-php -print
find / -name "lame mp3 encoder" -print
find / -name flv2tool -print

Also, if they are in the path you can use which: -

which ffmpeg
which ffmpeg-php
which "lame mp3 encoder"
which flv2tool

hi none of those work.
they show the /home/username/filethatwasdownloaded
and i can see the rpm's that were downloaded. they were installed via the rpm install for the package
i just cant locate wehre

and the above find/which and locate dont find them only the downloaded directory that has onlyt he .rpm file.

evilrix

Ah, if you have the rpm names, try this...

rpm -qil <PACKAGENAME>

This will list the package info and files included
