Ok. Then go to Google, put in "libfribidi0", and press enter. You'll then see lots of places to download it. You'd even find the source page: http://fribidi.org/
You don't say what version/distro you're using, but chances are it's also in your online repos.

dude
im using slackware and all pkg in google is tar.bz2 and i want .tgz
Ok...so uncompress it, and tar it back up in GZIP. "tar xvfj *.bz2", then "tar cvfz filename.tgz /directory" And if you need to build it manually, then do it. Uncompress the file, and read the instructions.

Why on earth does OP needs to do that?
He looks for a Slackware package, that is an archive ending in tgz (or for newer Slack in txz), so he can install it using the Slackware package manager.

I agree totally. But the OP said he wanted a tgz, but could only fine tar.bz2. I don't understand why reading the instructions and installing manually is a big problem, nor why they couldn't install via package. Just going by what the OP posted.
