unable to install tar balls

Hi all,
I have downloaded some tools and tried to install them on the RTP 6.1. I
have changed
to / and entered for example:
tar xvzf mc-blabla.tgz
Some file are installed and with some other files I get the message that
the directory did not exist
(for example, the archive contains /usr/bin/mc, but tar can’t put this
file into /usr/bin).
I have checked this and tried to generate a dummy file in /usr/bin:
touch /usr/bin/foo
I get the error: “/usr/bin/foo: No such file or directory”
Looks like the directory is write protected. But I am logged in as root
and the directory /usr/bin looks ok. What’s wrong???

Hi Andre,
I had the same problem. I guess this is Package File system read-only related problem. I have found
mc-blah-blah.qpr and installed it by Package manager.
Regards,
Eduard.
