i really have had a time trying to install some applications i red hat8.
i need to know the tricks. most of the files are *.tar.gz  files.
its getting very serious over here. il almost to the point of shooting myself with a watergun.
if there is a faq or post out there that could help me out please do tell.

CaptainCool:
For tar.gz files just type:
"tar xzvf filename.tar.gz" in a terminal then just follow the directions in the readme on how to install it. Usually you just got to cd to the new directory and execute the ./configure then make and then make install.

avello500:
thank you
