installing software

Hi. I'm somewhat HP naive and want to [have my SA] install perl & gcc that I got from Merijn's site. To do this I need bzip2, which is also there. and comes as bzip2-1.0.2-pa2.0 .

Is there some installation tool that works on file names like these?

Thanks.

That is like gunzip, it merely unzips the files. It does not install them.

Hi,

bzip2 seems to be a tar, so I would check with 'tar tvf ...' if it's a executable or a depot, which has to be installed with swinstall.
Maybe there's a readme or you can find something here:

Merijn is on vacation this week, so maybe the other gurus can help you.
