gzip -d file.name

It depends on what's actually in the file.
The name may be suggestive, but it's not
determinative.

> gzip -d file.name

Worth a try.

Personally, I never get files named X.gz.gz.
How did you get yours?

Did you mean it has two ".gz"?

You can use gunzip to remove one. Then use file(1) to see if it is really still gzipped.

I guess you are busy downloading those Acrobat prerequisites?
Run the "file xxxxx.gz.gz" command and if it tells you it is a gzip file, gunzip it. After that run the file command again "file xxxxx.gz" and repeat if necessary. If not you may have to rename the file. It is not different from having a windows zip file zip-ed twice.

Hi,

Using unix gzip, a file cannot be zipped twice.
I doubt the file has been zipped once and renamed to have another .gz extensiion.

anyway we have file command to determine the type of file. Use #gunzip to unzip the file and #type

It will show the actual file type.

Hi,

Typo error in my previous reply...

#type should be

#file

Apologize....

Just try

# tar -tvf

and don't care about the extension.

Sometime some browser do strange things with files during a download - e.g. a *.tar.gz is getting unziped, extensions are added, ...

the file was
gdk_pixbuf-0.20.0-hppa-11.23.depot.gz i untar'd it and it created a directory structure
/u04/gdk_pixbuf/gdk_pixbuf-RUN/usr/local
bin doc include lib share

can simply copy the bin directory to my usr/local/bin and the other directories to their respective /usr/local directories ??

DO NOT UNTAR A DEPOT FILE!

use

# swlist -s /full/pah/to/gdk_pixbuf-0.20.0-hppa-11.23.depot

to view and swinstall to install.

Any reason you aren't using HP's supplied gtk_26800_pa.depot? All of the dependencies are in that depot.

I mentioned this in your other thread:

Otherwise you need to download at least 10 depots.
