    help, i cant find netpbm with the locate command

    whm confirms its installed, but using:

    locate netpbm

    returns:

    /usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24

    which is just a directory with txt files like:

    readme,
    gpl liscense, etc.

    any ideas?

    thx in advance for answering.

    im on a linux 7.3 cpanel machine with whm.

    netpbm is a group of image manipulation libraries. The following is also from a RedHat 7.3 box:

    [michael@achiote michael]$ rpm -qa|grep netpbm
    netpbm-devel-9.24-9.73.2
    netpbm-9.24-9.73.2
    netpbm-progs-9.24-9.73.2
    [michael@achiote michael]$ rpm -ql netpbm
    /usr/lib/libpbm.so.9
    /usr/lib/libpbm.so.9.23
    /usr/lib/libpgm.so.9
    /usr/lib/libpgm.so.9.19
    /usr/lib/libpnm.so.9
    /usr/lib/libpnm.so.9.23
    /usr/lib/libppm.so.9
    /usr/lib/libppm.so.9.16
    /usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24
    /usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24/COPYRIGHT.PATENT
    /usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24/GPL_LICENSE.txt
    /usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24/HISTORY
    /usr/share/doc/netpbm-9.24/README
    [michael@achiote michael]$

    Hope this helps!

    find / -name \*netpbm\* will list every file and directory with netpbm in the name.

    Ahh, if only all the files installed by a package actually contained the name of the package...

    I will generalize a bit. Since you found the documentation for netpbm, sounds like it is installed.

    To query for packages on an RPM based distribution:

    rpm -qa | grep [packagename or pattern]

    For info about the package:

    rpm -qi [packagename]

    To find out what files an RPM package installed:

    rpm -ql [packagename]

    To find out what RPM package installed a particular file:

    rpm -qf /path/to/file

    For more RPM fun!:

    man rpm
