ghostscript

[Alex Morris]

I already tried putting them both on one line.  It fails in the same manner.
One thing that I have been wondering, though, is how do I get a list of the
files in the package?  The man page tells me to do:

rpm -q -i <rpm file>
or
rpm -q -l <rpm file>
or
rpm -l <rpm file>

None of those work.  The first two just tell me that the package is not
installed, and the third one tells me that "-l" is an invalid option.

Argh!
