rpm installation disappeared

[jimblor]

I installed the Xmovie rpm, and it ran just fine (although Opera couldn't use it for some reason). So I did "rm xmovie", and then tried to install again. It says the package is already installed, but the program is gone, and when I searched for xmovie nothing came up. Also, this is my first day with Linux.

Did you use

rpm -e xmovie

to uninstall (do not include the version #'s and file extension when uninstalling rpm packages).

You could try reinstalling using 'U' (upgrade).

rpm -Uvh xmovie-#.#.#.i386.rpm

Next time you should make sure you use 'rpm' when you want to remove a rpm package.

man rpm
