  You want to include the z in the command like this:
tar xvfz filename.tar.gz
Tar is a wonderfull thing.

Hi Shaun. Thanks for the clarification. To the rest of the listers, got a
question. How do you know ahead of time that a tar archive will create its
own directory? Because I can see myself making the following mistake over
and over again if there is no way to pre-determine his information: I untar
some package that I obtained from ftp.somewhere.com. I untar the archive in
my  home dir thinking it will create its own directory when I do tar xvf
archive.tar.gz, but unfortunately it doesn't! So the archive goes into my
homedir, and I have to make another dir for it and move the files from that
archive into the new dir. Is there any way to pre-determine whether or not a
tar archive will create its own directory before you extract the package?

the libs to /usr/lib and the untar the trplayer archive, doesn't it create
its own directory? Or does trplayer come in source? Because then your point
about installing the binary makes sense, because you have to compile the
source. But if it is just a binary, you should just be able to extract it
from the archive and you can just run it from there? Just wanted to know
whether or not the trplayer package was archived as source or as a binary.
