I read your forum post and can see that you're (dangerously) extracting
directly into the root directory and that this is among the contents of
the archive:
./usr/lib/
./usr/lib/libbrcomplpr2.so
I posit that tar clobbers the /usr/lib symlink, converting it into a
directory because that is what is stored in the archive.
Ergo, use the --keep-directory-symlink parameter.
Excuse the fact that I am replying to myself, but I must also stress
that the library does not belong in lib64. On a 64-bit system, you
should adapt your process so that the library ends up residing in lib32,
not lib64 (by way of the lib symlink). The software will not be able to
function correctly otherwise.

Thank you again.
On a different subject. Do you have a good pointer on how to backup a system.
I just had a HD crash so I selected a replacement SSD and I'm re installing the
software.
I had backup of /etc/ and /home but I've missed all other settings eg:
/boot/ kernel config and other files and are not in /etc directory like:
hylafax setting etc.
Is there a way to keep backup of all those configuration files that are
manually edited?
