I just put slacko puppy 5.3.3 on my computer and I am noticing that most files to download are tar.gz files. How do I download/install them? How do I find the dependence? many thanks |

It was as I suspected. You are trying to install source code. It does not work that way with source code. Source code need to be compiled and then installed. It consists of several steps. Loading devx sfs, configuring the source, compiling it and then installing it. Compiling from source code is another story, but there is whole compiling section in this forum from where you will find guidelines. |

./configure with options needed, then check if the configuration was sane, probably you will miss some development or real libs which you need to install/find and install. |
