Installing new software - Commmand to check if the package is correctly installed
If it come as a .tar.gz and contain a configure script
tar xzf package.tar.gz
cd package
./configure --prefix=$HOME & make & make install
This install the software in your home directory. To install it for every user, you need to omit the prefix option and be root when calling "make install".
If it comes as a rpm, you need to be root:
rpm -i package.rpm
To check if the package is correctly installed:
rpm -V package
To remove it:
rpm -e package
