Use "tar xzvf file.tgz". Go to the > OO site and read the install instructions, there are other things you No. It's a package, and it's *not* a tgz file.

As a previous responder noted, when you 'su -' it simulates a full root login, which puts you in root's home dir. I note that you said when you attempted to correctly add the pkg, it hung. It's big. Use the pkg_add command, perhaps with -v so you can see what's happening, and install the darned thing. -- Joshua OJ! Morphine! Lobo! OJ! Morphine! Lobo! -- Lisa, Bart, and Homer Simpson
