Generally, you download the tar.gz files to a particular dir, then in a term, type: tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz or tar -xjvf filename.tar.bz2 ...then cd into the subdirectory, and then probably: ./configure --prefix=/usr make su (password) make install ...and you should have a compiled binary after that. -- stephen kuhn - proprietor __________________________________________________________________ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.
