using rpm after installation

[ceimon]

I've installed rpm, but when I run a command like "rpm -ivh file.rmp," I get a response like:
"ksh: rpm: not found"
I know I probably need to add this command to the shell, but I don't know how to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried it like this: ./rpm -ivh file.rmp

Check your path (echo $PATH) to see if the directory where rpm is located is in your $PATH (it probably isn't).

To add the directory to your path, add this to the end of your PATH statement in your .profile:

:/opt/path/to/rpm/directory

Then, you can either rerun your .profile (. /home/user/.profile) or log back in.
