How do I find where packages have been isntalled??

I need a little help.
When I install a rpm, how do I find out where the directory structure for that package is installed too? I have not found any information yet concerning this ability. I have been working on this for quite some time, and I am starting to get physically sick from it.

Thanks

I didn't understood exactly what you want but supposing you want to know which are the directories (and files) created by the package you can use the command
[code:1]rpm -qlp <rpmfile>[/code:1]

Usually there are tools that display all the infromation. An examples is kpackage.

Kpackage lists all files with their locations for rpm's. Kpackage is a GUI for rpm.
