Hi,

when installing new s/w by compiling the source in a 9.2 box, how is it
possible to update the installed RPM DB and making the installed
libraries viewable in the RpmDrake listing?

Thanks for your help

The "correct" way to do it is to create a spec file, and build an RPM from the source. That way, you can also use RPM tools to remove, or update the package. It is posible to cheat, and create a binary-only RPM, but I think it is worth the effort to learn to create your own RPMs.
