Another lame Q about donload and install...

Since I havent got the NIC to work under QNX-RtP, I downloaded the
“abiword-rep.tgz” to a folder in windows (c:\downloads)
How do I continue to get it installed when I have rebooted to QNX?
I can see the folder / file in the file manager, but how do I unpack /
install it properly?

I also downloaded “qnxrtp-mousewheeldrv.tar.gz” to get my wheelmouse to
work, since it would make me much more at home if it did…

Do I have to copy it to another folder first (a QNX folder), or could I
install it from where it is?

I know, I’m a newbie, but please have patience, I’m at least trying…

Jane,

Opent up a terminal.

Navigate to you home directory.

To get comman line args type the following ;

tar --help >> tarhelp.txt

This will create a text file with the help
args etc for using tar.


You can do the same for gzip / gunzip


I think you can also specify to unzip and untar in a `oner’


Try

tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz

This should work out but check the cmnd line args as I am
certainly no expert on this !

Graham

I haven’t tried this on QNX, but in Linux you write:

tar -xfvz filename.tar.gz

and that’s all. If the file is not gziped omit the ‘z’ ( -xfv )

By the way I´m having problems to detect my Robotics modem. Check my other
messages if you can help me.

Hope to help,

I havent found my NIC, SB16, 56K Modem, or my printer yet, but sure, what do
you need help with :wink:

Actually, you would be better of without my help with QNX, but IF I knew
something that would help, you could have counted me in.

Strange, found my SB16 no probs ?

And my Epson Stylus 600 ?

Anyway, hope the reply helped . . . .

I was only making a suggestion about the command line arguments
its often easier to get them into a text editor and be able to
read them whilst you are running them in a term . . . .

Regards

Graham

If robotics is an imulated software based modem and not a real modem with a
