Hello, On the ed page it states that libarchive is required to extract the tarball.
This is totally incorrect. To uncompress the source tarball you need: lzip which is located at: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/lzip-1.16.tar.gz If you try to uncompress the archive with only libarchive installed you get the following: /usr/src/stats: line 33: =======: command not found tar (child): lzip: Cannot exec: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now How is this going to effect the release of the book? Do we now have to create a new page for lzip as it is actually required to decompress the archive. Or do we just do an external link for lzip?
