Hello: I am trying to install freeRADIUS-1.1.3. The INSTALL instructions says to download the 'tar' file. I have not been able to find the tar file for the newest version. Please help. Where is this 'tar' file? Thanks. Kirt

I have been to this page several times before posting. This download file is not the 'tar' file from which I install. This is a file from which we extract a freeradius-1.1.3 folder.

The 'bz2' extension means that the tar file has been compressed. Use "bunzip2" to decompress it, and you will get a "tar" file.

Hi,
The 'bz2' extension means that the tar file has been compressed. Use "bunzip2" to decompress it, and you will get a "tar" file.
little known factoid. on most modern versions of tar you can simply do tar xvf blah-blah.tar.bz2 and it will automatically detect the major compression methods - be it .Z, .gz or .bz2. note, no '-' and no 'j'/'z' - thats 2 less characters to type each time you do a tar operation...think of the savings on your keyboard and the resulting productivity gain! ;-) alan

Greetings, Download the freeradius-1.1.3.tar.bz2 file. Then from the command line issue the following commend to extract it: tar jxpf freeradius-1.1.3.tar.bz2 That will bunzip2 it, and untar the file all in one step. -- William

Please note the tar extension before the bz2!!!!!!!!

Wow....that last sentence was kinda snarky. You want help right? This is not a FreeRADIUS question. This is a basic unix/linux question. Please go purchase a Linux User Manual of some sort. In the meantime, that *is* the tarball. tar = archived into a single file (ie uncompressed). bz2 means that tarball is zipped. You will almost never find an unzipped tarball on the net. They will either be gz or bz2 files. Get the file. tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2 that will unzip and extract it. Again, please go get a book....if you don't understand the system, how can you install and support a service running on it? And to save some other poor list the aggravation....if you download a gz file (as opposed to bz2) the command is slightly different: tar xvzf file.tar.gz "man tar" is your friend. -- Dennis Skinner Systems Administrator BlueFrog Internet http://www.bluefrog.com

Sorry. I misread that last line. You didn't look in the folder, did you? I bet there are some README and INSTALL files and a doc directory. Any guesses what you should do with the README file? Linux!=Windows. There is no installer file. You will need to compile the binaries yourself. Again, a book would be helpful here. If you are looking for an rpm or deb, then you *don't* want the "tar file", you need to go to your distro's repository. -- Dennis Skinner Systems Administrator BlueFrog Internet http://www.bluefrog.com
