I downloaded a tar.gz file using wget then I was able to unzip it using:

tar zxvf

From there the following commands:

./configure
make
make install

all give me errors

root@Jonathan:~# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
root@Jonathan:~# cd library
bash: cd: library: No such file or directory
root@Jonathan:~# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
root@Jonathan:~# make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.


I can always unzip the tar.gz files no problem but I can never get past that. What am I doing wrong? I have Knoppix (debian) by the way.

Do you cd to the rarlinux-3.3.0 before configuring? Plus always read the install or readme files before configuring to make sure you are using the correct installation commands.

I read the documentation that was online and right after unziping the file it says to do this:
"cd library" I just get an error

Aright, I cded it and then did ./configure, that worked. make and make install didn't.
