I have a redhat 7.2 box, up n running. Was trying to install lesstif on that, when I use "rpm -ivh " it sayz " already installed". Its fine, but I dunt see the files that should come with package. I tried "rpm -U" also, but it still doesn't work. Anyways, so I tried to uninstall the thing using "rpm -e " and it sayz " not installed". So I am kind of stuck with a faulty installation of some kind. Does anybody have any pointers to this situation ? How can I get it working again !!
