Thanks for your help, David and Mathew but I have somehow or other lost the lot. Will attempt another download and install later.

I am running Ubuntu 10 and have just downloaded CorelPHOTOPAINT9Lnx.tar.gz which is sitting in the archive window. Would appreciate advice on what to type into the command line to get it running.


You've downloaded a tarball.. so the first thing to do is unpack it. If you are lucky it will have good build/installation instructions in a README or a doc directory somewhere.

I'd be making a directory inside your home directory called something like photopaint, then moving the tarball there, then doing:

$ tar -xzf CorelPHOTOPAINT9Lnx.tar.gz

With luck you will find something interesting to read in there ;-)
