Installation Basic Question

[gprakash]

I am trying to install LPS on Redhat enterprise server. I downloaded the lps-2.2-unix.tar.gz. But when I try to unzip this using gzip, it says that the file is not in gzip format.

Can someone let me know what I am missing?

Thanks

try:
tar -zxvf $filename.tar.gz

The 'z' in the tar arguments is to unzip it then untar it, verbosely, and forced.

your archive may also be corrupt... Try d/l'in again.

I tried downloading the file three times. I could not open it even using winzip on Windows or using tar / gzip on linux.

Thanks for you help.

You mean gunzip, not gzip, right?

Quick explanation to that: gunzip is the uncompress mate to the compression gzip...

Shoot me your email address in a PM and I will ZIP it up a couple of different ways for ya and stick it one of my servers for ya... try and get ya working archive. Although I in particular didn't have an issue on work windoze box or my home *nix box.

or Antun, if you've got the flexibility slap a zip up. Otherwise I'll do it no problemo...

Thanks for your help. I meant gunzip and tar for unzipping the file on linux.
