The utility zip is not in your path
Hello can you please help
I am trying to open a zip file with ARK and I keep getting this message "The utility zip is not in your PATH. Please install it or contact your system administrator. Can you tell me what I need to do to get this to work.
Thanks
Scott

In a terminal type this:
which zip
If it returns:
/usr/bin/which: no zip in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:etc.....)
then you need to install the zip utility. Let us know your distribution (redhat, suse, slackware, etc) so we can help you in installing this.
If it returns a path like:
/usr/bin/zip
then you have it installed and ark is doing something incorrectly.
Start there...find out if you have zip installed by doing what I suggested above.

Run the commands I suggested above to see if zip is at least in your path.
I think in mandrake:
rpm -qa | grep zip
should give you some useful information.
