Rep:
first thing that could have happened is that the tar file is corrupted.
So give it another go and download it again, it might just work.
If that doesn't help, do an "ls" in the mc-4.6.0 directory, and see what you find there. It might just be that you have to go one directory further before you can install.
Also, when inspecting the dir with "ls", look for the well-known README file(s). Don't be affraid to read them too, they might just tell you how to install that beautiful piece of software, maybe it uses some shell script or another type of installer instead of the normal configure-make-make install stuff.
Most Linux distros ship with an MC package, so there is usually not need to compile it from source. Anyway, if the configure script is not available, try doing "make".
I Dowloaded diffrent version of mc*.tar.gz files but can not Extract complately with "tar -xzvf" command and apear error .
I am beginer please help me.
