To uncompress and make a "standard" .tar.gz file use: tar -zxvf <your tar archive filename here> This will untar and unzip it in one operation. It will probably create it's own directory structure when you do this. Then: cd <new directory name here> ./configure (maybe check your README file) make make install (maybe check your README file) that should do it. That's a standard Unix/linux software installation process -- your mileage may vary. I'm not totally familiar with the FreeBSD package manager, so there may be another way. . . --- Julio Galicia <jgalicia@tejon.ittux.edu.mx> wrote: > i've got a xxx.tar.gz.
