Hi all,
I have just installed Eclipse RPM from Redhat.I simply double
clicked the rpm file , it started installing.I typed eclipse , it says
'no command found'.How to find the exact installation path of the RPM
installed.I thought it may be like , the path of Eclipse rpm is not
configured correctly.With little knowledge in Linux , I could not move
forward.
Thanks in advance.

You can list the content of an rpm using the -l option:

$ rpm -ql eclipse-platform

if the package is installed or

$ rpm -qlp eclipse-platform-3.2.2-15.fc7

if you want to extract the information from an RPM file

If you are looking for binaries you can filter the output

$ rpm -ql eclipse-platform | grep bin
