Re: Package installation difficulty

[2NinerRomeo]

ahhh, I did not know to manually load the package,  that is getting me
access to the functions, thank you.

checking the /tmp folder shows 777 access:
$ ls /tmp -l
total 1
-rwxrwxrwx 1 AndrewE Domain Users 701 Sep  6 17:33 tempfile.tmp

Checking the integrity of the package...
$ tar -tjf control-2.1.55.tar.gz
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I check the help on tar, which seemed to indicate that it would filter the
file through bzip2, so I tried leaving it off since the "-tjf" was making
tar complain about the input not being a   and I got what appeared to be a
listing of the contents of the archive, A part of them pasted here..
