Hi,

all you have done is downloaded a package and I assume you have extracted it too, you have not installed the program!!. (What you have is a zipped package, you should always try and find "deb" packages!!)

What program is it you wish to install and did you try Synaptic or the Ubuntu software manager??.

Please tell us what package it is you wish to install, then maybe we can tell you how!!.

Regards Wolfman

Hi,

another tip I can give you is when you are installing packages using Synaptic, always right click on the file name and see if there are any recommended or suggested packages to add to the download!!. Some programs have non critical dependencies will help them function (possibly) better!!.
