I've got a stupid question, could someone please remind me how to make
binary files work with linux, I've done this before, but it's been a
while. I downloaded the realplayer file from the websight to install that,
but don't remember how to install binaries. if someone could tell me how,
I'd appreciate it:p

If yes, is source or binary? In the case of an i386 binary rpm, for instance, a command like "rpm -i realplayer-x.y.i386.rpm" will install the package.

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?

* Re: trplayer and realplayer ` Shaun Oliver @ ` Igor Gueths ` Charles Hallenbeck ` Pete 0 siblings, 2 replies; 32+ messages in thread From: Igor Gueths @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup 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? ----- Original Message ----- From: Shaun Oliver <shauno@goanna.net.au> To: <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 6:28 AM Subject: Re: trplayer and realplayer > On Fri, 8 Mar 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > > > 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?

On my Slackware system the "less" command is installed in such a way that it automatically shows the files contained in a tar archive. The first file listed will be a directory if the archive will be one that creates its own directory. If your "less" will not do that, you can always create a temporary directory and untar the thing in there. If it does create its own directory under your temporary one, you can just "mv" the thing to where you want it.

How do you mv it so that the directory doesn't get omitted? As an example, I was trying to move an entire directory tree from Cd to hard disk (/usr/src). My syntax was something like this: mv /mnt/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/source /usr/src. This should work under Dos, but doesn't seem to work under Linux. Just to make sure, I added a *.* before the /usr/src. In both cases, I get a message like: mv: directory has been omitted. And it doesn't move anything. In this example, I'm not saying that I am trying to do this, although I did try it before. Basically, what would be the syntax to move a directory tree? Let's say I created a tempdir for a tar archive and untarred it. And it created a dir in /temp, therefore the tree would be /temp/package. Let's say I want to move /package to /usr/local. Also, package has subdirs that I want to have moved as well.

The thing is, the MV command wants to erase the source after putting it somewhere else, and your CD is not erasable. You might want to use "cp" instead with a flag to make it recursive. Probably the flag would be -r but I would check first. Chuck On Sat, 9 Mar 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > Hi Chuck. How do you mv it so that the directory doesn't get omitted?

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.

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.
