I know how to install Linux RPMs in FreeBSD. But this time, I have no idea.


Quite puzzled, and needing help.

Many thanks in advance.

Ken-

Assuming the package ends in .tar.gz or .tgz, you can extract the tarball 
via: tar -zxvf <filename.tar.gz>

If the tarball ends in .tbz, extract it with the following;
tar -jxvf <filename.tbz>

Once the file is extracted, there should be a README file that tells you how 
to install the binary. (Assuming this is not a package specifically built 
for FreeBSD)

Hope that helps, I'm a relative newb to BSD myself
