tar xjvf filename.tar.bz2

bzip2 -d filename.tar.bz2 -c | tar xvf -

for i in *.bz2; do tar xjf $i done

will bunzip all bz2 files in the current directory (or just one, if that's all there is...)

Not trying to confuse you, just demonstrating that things can be done in different ways...all the above will work as well as:
bzcat filename.tar.bz2 | tar xvf and,
bunzip filename.tar.bz2 | tar xvf

you might need to install bzip2 from this site here

ok......I got it unzipped... and it is in a directory of its own now....it wont let me run it

it says

:I do not have permission to run it| or
:there are no installed players availible...

Yeh, I think you just downloaded source code right? So you have to compile it before it can be used. There should be a file called README or INSTALL in the top-level directory to tell you how.

generic instructions are:
./configure
make
make install (as root)

ummm

well that didnt work I cd'd into the mugen directory as root

then typed

./configure
and it said there was no configure file
then I typed make
no file specified
then make install and I get
no file specified

no its not just code I can see all the folders I can go into them and everything

The thing is ready to run it just wont let me run it...

bulliver · 05-17-2003, 03:06 PM

Well, is there any documentation at all? There must be something to tell you how to run it...

s9722 · 05-17-2003, 03:41 PM

in the readme it says type ./mugen in the consol needless to say I have tried that

I have also cd'd into the mugen directory and and typed ./mugen and then it says I do not have permission to run it

it wont even let me run it as root

try chmod +x mugen. Perhaps the bz2 file didn't uncompress while preserving permissions.
