Zip Files

How can I create or access zip files.

I am using Ark and each time I try it claims I do not have the Zip utility in my PATH. Please install it or contact you system administrator.

As I am the only one who knows what Linux is at work, it makes me the system administrator so you can see my problem.

 

Cheers.

Well, in my 8.2, it works like a clockwork.

 

1. Open Ark

2. New

3. Save as whatever archive name you want

4. Add files (select a buncha files)

5. Watch in amazement -- nothing seems to be happening -- that's cuz it so fast!

 

Ark 2.1.9

Kde 3.0.2

so =>

/opt/kde3/bin/ark

Life is so much easier when you know people who KNOW.

I checked for installed packages called zip - none.

Checked for installable packages called zip - Lots.

Installed unzip. zip and what do you know it works.

Cheers for your help, same time tomorrow for another simple to solve noobie question.

Possible I included it in packages during install, so I was not even aware that it is not included in default. I always select packages one by one, at least I know what is exactly on the box. :-)
