Re: Source Code Installation



Hi Greg,

It's actually fairly simple. Say you have a program called
xyz.tar.bz. Then you can bunzip it and untar it simultaneously
with

tar -xjv xyz.tar.bz

If you have xyz.tar.gz, use

tar -xzv xyz.tar.gz

then type "cd xyz"

then type "./configure"

then type "make"

then type "make install" (as root)

--RY

.
