Run "cd .." first, and add the directory name. Also, I think the 2nd
filename needs to match what is in the archive, rather than the first.
e.g. diff -Nur gnowsys-*/install.sh.orig gnowsys-*/install.sh
The "-r" argument to diff lets you make a complete copy of the source
("cp -pr source source.orig"), then you can just edit files in place
and let diff figure out what has changed.

Note that there is no directory in the above pathnames - the "-p1"
argument says to take off one directory from the pathname.
