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, enter the following command:
rpm -q xlcThe result is:
xlc.V.R.M-V.R.M.F-Bwhere V.R.M-V.R.M.F-B is the Version.Release.Modification-Version.Release.Modification.Fix-Build level of the compiler that is installed on the system.
Note: The C++ runtime package and SMP runtime package still use V.R.M.F-B in the package names for backward compatibility.
If the installation was not successful, you will get a message indicating that the package has not been installed.
To confirm the installation of all compiler packages, enter the following command:
rpm -qa | grep -e xlc -e vacpp -e xlsmp -e xlmassThe result is a list containing all of the packages as shown in Table 1. If none of the packages was properly installed, there will be no output from the command.
