rpm -i does nothing (RESOLVED)

[John V. Pope]

Michael,

That's a great tip!

Thanks to all that replied.  I now have the driver compiled and installed.
Connecting my USB Intel Home webcam no longer results in an error.

Now I just need a webcam program <grin>.

To add to what the other people have replied already, to see what the
command has done ("no output is generated and no files are installed" is
wrong), use "rpm -ivv" instead of "rpm -i". That will give you lots of
information on what the command does with the package.
