Hi there, I am installing "netest" and "pipechar" for measuring the network performance and bottleneck in virtual environment in cloud Computing. I am not getting any success in installing these tools There is file <ncsd-dist-1.2.tgz> first I download this and then I decompressed the file with " tar -zxvf file.tgz" but all the files were not decompressed. Then i came to now about adding another argument "i" to skip the extra zeros added to the files during compression. Now tar is extracting files. But when I run the installation it stops mid-way and giving the error of missing files. I go the documentation of tools, and they say the following to download and de-archiving the file <file.tgz> I tried the following options but no success. I coluld not understand. Please help me out how to de-archive this file and install the tools. >From the documentation : *After downloading and de-archiving "gzip -d < $ARCH.tgz | tar -xf -", a directory "$OS.$ARCH/bin", which contains both netest and pipechar binaries, will be created in the current directory.* Thanks and regards -- M P Singh +1 613 422 8074
