Chris:

When I run rpm -q rpm

[juanm-yPbm7qHBTMA at public.gmane.org juanm] $ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.2-0.69

However when I run rpm -q rp*

[juanm-yPbm7qHBTMA at public.gmane.org juanm] $ rpm -q rp*
package rp* is not installed

is because with rpm the wildcard (*) does not work. I guess you need to
type the complete package name..... and yes, the VMware package was
already installed.
