Re: [linrad] lir00-56.tgz vs lir00-56.tbz



I resolved the problem(s) myself.
Meanwhile Linrad runs OK here.
 
In Red Hat 8.0 ( 2.4.20-13.8 ) there were just a few minor hurdles :
( ref. : Leif's installation instructions  ) :
 
1.   " Tar xvf svga143.tar "
     should be :
     " tar xvf svga143.tar ".
     ( Tar is an unknown command ).
 
2.   " Tar xvf nasm.tar "
     should be :
     " tar xvf nasm.tar ".
     ( Tar is an unknown command ).
 
3.   " Tar xvf lirxxxx.tar " :
     should be :
     " tar xvf lirxxxx.tar ".
     ( Tar is an unknown command ).
 
4.   " gunzip lirxxxx.tgz "
       should be :
       " bunzip2 lirxxxx.tbz "
       Leif's downloadable is .tbz and not .tgz .
       So, gunzip does not work.
       Instead, use bunzip2 ( I found this in /root/user/bin....) and it does work OK.
 
5.   I found that downloading within Linux of svaglib and linrad ( as well as nasm, if necessary ) offers
     the possibility of dragging within the GUI ( one drag and one click ) instead of laborious mounting   
     thru FDD.
     This saves 19 mounting related commands.
 
6.   Maybe my two cents under ## 1,2,3,4 are stated by Leif separately, somewhere outside the installation
     instruction pages, but I couldn't find these.
     Maybe this helps for future newbies in RH 8.0.

Subject: [linrad] lir00-56.tgz vs lir00-56.tbz

Installing Linrad :
 
Nasm : OK
SVGALib : OK
So far so good.
 
Lir00-56. : not OK.
Leifs says : gunzip lir00-56.tgz
System's response : " no such file ".
Indeed, .tgz is not .tbz ( At Leif's the only downloadable is lir00-56.tbz and not lir00-56.tgz.).
 
BTW : " gunzip lir00-56.tbz " says ( of course ..) : " unknown suffix -- ignore ".
 
Please help.
