Re: [TCLUG:452] Standard newbie problem - connectivity

Hi,

To find the path to the offending file, you can do this.
    $ find / -name libncurses.so.4 -print 2> /dev/null
    /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4

Then, to find the package that owns it...
    $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4
    ncurses-4.2-6

Or, combine the two steps.
    $ rpm -qf `find / -name libncurses.so.4 2> /dev/null -print`
    ncurses-4.2-6

Don't forget to check out the section in your RedHat install guide called
"Impressing Your Friends with RPM".

Have fun,
Chris
