What did you download? Are you sure it isn't a directory something like usr.bin from a distribution tree. Do an 'ls -laFo', which I have aliased as ll, and see if see something like drwxr-xr-x 209 root wheel - 3584 May 4 11:30 usr.bin/ In /usr/ports/net/dgd-lpmud/files, I have a file called Makefile.bin. It is a text file that I can list with more. When you download the bin files for an installation, you end up with bin.aa,bin.ab,...,bin.dx. They have to be concatenated together. The shell script install.sh does it by executing the following line cat bin.?? | tar --unlink -xpzf - -C ${DESTDIR:-/} Since you weren't very specific, there are many answers that don't apply.
