This sounds like you have the folder that you would have got AFTER you gave the untar command. >I tried giving the untar > command line again-- and when that did not work, Yes, the untar command won't work- because you don't have the tarball, you seem to have the folder itself. The untar command would have given you the folder if you applied it to the tarball (if you had the tarball, which seems like you didn't). So it just means that you have to do one step less. > Nothing > seems to have worked, but I am pasting the output from terminal below so > you can see it. Which is generally a sensible thing to do, and did help me now, in understanding what your problem could be. > My main suspicion right now, is that the bolnagri-in > download on the website may perhaps be defective. Indeed, you're right. I suggest you could write to the website people and let them know that you're unable to download the tarball. One hopes they'll set it right. Meanwhile, it looks like fixing your problem should be simple. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd bolnagri-in This tells me that you tried to cd to the directory. (And the next line implies you succeeded.) > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bolnagri-in$ ./install.sh > Installing bolnagri-in... > mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/doc/bolnagri-in': Permission > denied This is where you are making the mistake. Please go back and look at my instructions. I said, you have to type 'sudo ./install.sh'. You have missed the sudo. I also explained that using sudo gives you root privileges. Since you were not root when you tried to run the install.sh script, it tried to run it, but failed. "permission denied" is the relevant error here. It means that it was trying to do what it needed to do to install, but permission was denied because that privilege (in this case, of creating a directory /usr/share/doc/bolnagri-in, to begin with) is available only to root. Basically, you don't have to change anything. Just go back to the directory and type 'sudo ./install.sh'. Let me know how it goes. -- - Hassath ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
