You can use unrar, but you will probably need to install it. I don't think it comes installed in Red Hat by default.

I did install it but I get this error and I am using Redhat es3 update 7

[root@ark 123]# unrar access.rar
unrar: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Well, it would seem that you need to install that particular file that is missing.

procfs · 07-14-2006, 12:21 AM

It is there under /lib/ssa/libstdc++.so.6 it is a link libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.0

Did you try unrar as root?

procfs · 07-14-2006, 12:26 AM

Yah still the same error

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 13 11:02 libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 762864 Aug 4 2004 libstdc++.so.6.0.0

Well, I can't explain the error, but another utiliy that can open .rar files is p7zip

How about the path which he looks for this file, if so how can I find this,

mean time I'll try 7z

Thanks

I downloaded this
p7zip-4.42-1.el3.rf.i386.rpm

and it says

[root@ark 123]# 7za e 123.rar

7-Zip (A) 4.42 Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Igor Pavlov 2006-05-14
