RE: doubts on FreeBSD
Hi, copy the tar ball somewhere, and decompress it using tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz Usually a directory with name will be created and you need to go there using cd There you usually find a file README or INSTALL with all necessary instructions. You can read the README or INSTALL file by typing cat README | more (or cat INSTALL|more) Basically the minimu set of instructions will be (after the cd ) make make install Enjoy Simon Anirban Adhikary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : Hi guys, This is ANIRBAN.

Re: doubts on FreeBSD
Same as any other *nix operating system. Basically just follow the installation instructions with the program. Common basic ones are... untar it tar -zxf file.tar.gz cd into the extracted dir cd file/ run the configure script if there is one. ./configure and compile it with make or if necessary gmake make But, if a program is in the ports tree you are better off using that unless you have specific reason not to. - Original Message - From: "Anirban Adhikary" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 3:37 AM Subject: doubts on FreeBSD Hi guys, This is ANIRBAN.
