I am trying to install a driver for my Xerox Phaser 7700 printer on RD9. When I run the setup file, I get a wierd error message:
ERROR: cannot find system command 'uncompress'.
Any suggestions?

You might first try installing the "ncompress" package, then retry installing that driver:
# rpm -i ncompress.i586.rpm
(change ncompress.i586.rpm to whatever it is on Redhat 9). If you are installing it from the CD, make sure you mount it first (mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) and then go to the directory in which it is located (cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS). To find out if this CD or that one has the ncompress file, do this (after mounting the CD):
# find /mnt/cdrom -name "ncompress*"
To see if the package is already installed on your system, enter this:
# rpm -q ncompress
Good luck.
