How to find the location of a downloaded library

English Applications
1

A programme that I am interested in, requires the metis library, I downloaded it using the one-click install button, and I got the message Installation was successful.
Now I want to know its exact location.
I use the command rpm -qa metis*
and the answer was
metis-4.0-9.1
What I need to know is where exactly it has been installed, when using the utility find, the answer is permission denied.
What command should I use?
Thanks for reading my post

rpm -ql metis

shows you the files installed by the package.

Hi
Normally they are in /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64 on a 64bit OS, if you also
use YaST software management and click on the files tab or from the CLI;


rpm -ql metis

Appreciate very much your informative reply. (by the way it has been installed in /usr/bin and /usr/share/metis)
May the Allmighty bless you both
