Hello,
         I agree with your suggestion Ricky but even when i give rpm -q <package>  in command line it tells that the package is  not installed ,  though i can  run the program  and it could be seen installed in the GUI Add/Remove program for RH 9 Linux. Awaiting a reply...

Hello,
         Recently i had installed gaim-1.0.0 for redhat 9 for i386  . The application installs fine and runs as expected,  but  when i gave the command   rpm -e "package name"  in command line it says that the package is not installed. Though i can uninstall succesfully through the add/remove program facility in the GUI mode. Can anyone help me in telling what is the problem in command line and how can i solve it?
         Running "rpm -e <package>" from the /usr/bin directory works but i think it should work from the root's homw directory too- that is the proper way, isn't it?
        Waiting eagerly for an early reply.
Regards,
Piyush.
