A newbie to the forum. I wish to install samba on solaris7 on intell x86.from other sources I am advised to use the following to uncompress the file:
gzip samba[x]*tar.gz | tar -xvf -
but when I do the above, I get the error message to the effect: ksh: zip not found ..... etc. I use find utitlity to local zip command but could not find.
could someone help how to extract the zip file so I can install samba.

Thank you

need gzip.
non compressed copies of solaris7X86 gzip are available from sunfreeware.com
instals in /usr/local

another possibility is that it's there but not on your path.

do a which gzip and see if it can find it. (if you think it is there already)
