Hi Kevin,
no idea how to extract from a remote desktop. Are you using
ftp?
To extract a tar just use command:
# tar -xvh tarfile
see man tar. -xvh is extract,verbose,hash
The easy way to work with tar and tar.gz files is to use 'mc'.Just
hit enter on any tar, tar.gz, rpm or tgz and mc will open it up for
you.
Use the F5 key to copy the tarred directory to /usr/local/src.
To make a proggie check the README.txt file in the untarred directory,
the default prefix is usually set /usr/local which is what most people
use,
./configure --help (check options)
./configure
make
make install
cheers,
keith
