sjaglin Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have a dvd as rar files and am trying to unrar it via Ark and here is the message: The utility unrar is not in your PATH. Please install it or contact your system administrator Probably a simple problem but can t see the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Just use unrar from the command line. Go to the folder where the rar files are, type: unrar e <Type the first letter of the rar files and hit tab. Select the rar files with the lowest number: ea .rar or rar00> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) Why not put unrar in say /usr/bin and flag it as executable? Then ark would find and use it (unless its compiled without rar support, which shouldn't be the case for Mandriva).

AussieJohn Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Here is a web page that might be handy. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faqs/2006/02/open...t-rar-files.php It certainly helped me to extract some pasword protected rar from some music site (legal). Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
