Querying for installed packages

To determine the Version.Release.Modification.Fix-Build level of a package, query for it using the rpm command.

About this task

To query for an individual package, issue a command such as the following:

   rpm -q vac.cmp

The result should be:

   vac.cmp-V.R.M.F-B

where V.R.M.F-B is the Version.Release.Modification.Fix-Build level of the compiler installed on the system.

If the installation was not successful, you will get a message indicating that the package has not been installed.

To confirm installation of all compiler packages, issue the following command:

   rpm -qa | grep -e -vac -e xlsmp -e xlmass

The result should be a list that contains all of the packages listed in Table 1. If none of the packages listed in the table was properly installed, there will be no output from the command.
