I know this is a stupid question...

How do you unzip tar.gz files, and install them?

 

[Hector13]

gunzip my_file.tar.gz

that should produce a tar file, then run:

tar xvf my_file.tar

If you have GNU gunzip, I think you can just run gunzip with some option to cut out the second step. In either case, the above should work

Thanks a lot, seems to work perfectly

EDIT: Now to figure out how to install this.... (gaim)

Another quick and dirty way.

tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz

one step process!
