How to get Yaw, Pitch and Roll from a 3D vector

Question

I have a direction vector that applied to a position gives me the point at which the camera should look. How can I get from that yaw, pitch and roll in order to use glRotatef properly?

Thanks in advance

You probably don't actually want the yaw, pitch and roll. You just need the correct transformation. Try using gluLookAt to build it. Documentation.
