In your home directory create a dir called extract cd to that dir assuming it is a tar.gz package simply do tar xvfz ../wherever/you/placed/the/file.tar.gz and it will extract and gzip -d the contents into a seperate directory in the extract directory [at least if it was packaged in the nicq-x.y way]. Now follow the instructions on how to compile it. Merely compiling it won't damage your system, not `infect' it with crud. Only when you make install it will you make modifications to the base system. Hope this helps to lower your `fear' of trying to compile things =) Kind regards, -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best My name is Legion: for we are many.
