RE: doubts on FreeBSD
Hi, copy the tar ball somewhere, and decompress it using tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz Usually a directory with name filename will be created and you need to go there using cd filename There you usually find a file README or INSTALL with all necessary instructions. You can read the README or INSTALL file by typing cat README | more (or cat INSTALL|more) Basically the minimu set of instructions will be (after the cd filename) make make install Enjoy Simon Anirban Adhikary [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Hi guys, This is ANIRBAN.
