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

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!:
