Hi Mickey, .tar.gz files normally contain source code of a program that first has to get "compiled" (turning that source code into a usable program) in order to be executed/run. For users I'd recommend to use the precompiled packages that are provided by your distribution, or through other sources (for Ubuntu these should have the ending .deb). andre -- mailto:[email protected] | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper | http://www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gnome-love mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love
