The gawk utility is needed for extracting the package

Rep:
now that's weird that gawk isn't already installed. to check if a utility is in your path:
which gawk
should do. use find to see if it is on your system:
find / -name "gawk" -type f -print
I'm not a deb-head, but isn't the command to install that stuff with apt,
apt-get install curl
or something similar?
thank you guys, things make sense now i thought curl and gawk are aleady included in the package tar. by the way im using ubuntu distro to build rock linux.im using this fo my software thesis in my school, building an OS out of linux format.any suggestion please dont hesitate to reply on me.
thanks once again.
Distribution: Mandriva mostly, vector 5.1, tried many.Suse gone from HD because bad Novell/Zinblows agreement

Rep:
find and which are very good,
if you got time, try to install locate,
it creates a database with all the files in there. (updatedb to update the database)
It is then instant to find if a file is around you would do
locate gawk for example

I'm in school too, but creating an OS!?!?! Jeeeeeez :] That sounds scary lol
thanks blindcoder you very suppportive, i dedicate my project to my country we have'nt have linux distro yet.
i will call it "buddyrock",buddy linux for filipinos.by the way im on configurating now the system next will be the download phase.got only limited time in our school laboratory.
Anyway, what do you mean by limited time? ROCK can compile entirely without user interaction.
For example, you can run it in screen or you can also (after you're done downloading) use
Code:
# ./scripts/Build-Target -daemon
which will run the build detached from the console and log its information to a file.
got on error blindcoder upon executing './scripts/Config': message
mv: cannot stat `src/rockdialog.bin.7698': No such file or directory
Creating configuration script ...
Running ROCK Linux 2.0.3 configuration ...

It seems that the rockdialog program could not be compiled. There should be some more messages before that.
Try this:
im back for configurating my ubuntu it just lack of utility
im downloading jdk, texidoclet,and other stuff so by next week it will be ready to configure rock linux. thank for the help and suggestion and the other scripts.
