List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: 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?=20 ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Shaun Oliver To: Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 6:28 AM Subject: Re: trplayer and realplayer > On Fri, 8 Mar 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: >=20 > > Hi Shaun. I will be doing this thing with trplayer sometime in the = future, so I figured I would try to clarify one point here. When you = copy 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?
