The tar ball will create it's own directory. It is sources, so it needs to be compiled. Greg On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 05:08:16PM -0500, 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? Just wanted to know whether or not the trplayer package was archived as source or as a binary. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Shaun Oliver <shauno at goanna.net.au> > To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> > Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 7:48 AM > Subject: Re: trplayer and realplayer > > > > On Thu, 7 Mar 2002, Deedra Waters wrote: > > > > > hmm, ok, I must be doing something wrong.
