apache compile on RH9 - imap.tar.Z help
 

Hi, I am continuing my install of the Apache Compile and am stuck here:

# cd imap-2002c1/
[root@mail05 imap-2002c1]# make slx SSLTYPE=nopwd
make sslnopwd
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/imap-2002c1'

Applying an process to sources...
tools/an "ln -s" src/c-client c-client
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
make: *** [an] Error 126

Did I downloaded the wrong file because RH9 can't run this command: tar −xvfz imap.tar.Z
So I uncompressed it under a windows program and moved it over to my linux box.

Any suggestions? Thank you very much!

This isn't a vaild command that's why it doesn't work:
tar −xvfz imap.tar.Z

the -f tells tar to use the next string as the file name so it will need to be:
tar −xvzf imap.tar.Z

or:
tar −x -v -z -f imap.tar.Z

etc etc...

David ---> Bingo!

Uncompressing your way works. It then allows me to properly run "make slx SSLTYPE=nopwd". Thanks again.
