Hello Toran,
I'm not so sure if I really understand what's going on - I'm not sure
what you really mean with "installing tar" - but I would think you mean
"unpacking an archive with TAR and trying to install it"...yes?
If that is "yes", then what you're really wanting to do is to unpack a
TAR archive in probably an empty directory somewhere, then open a
console/terminal in that directory, and run "./configure && make && make
install" - that's generally how source is compiled and installed for
literally any linux distro...
Is this getting warm?
