sh: uncompress: command not found

tutorials
August 1st, 2010

If you are uncompressing a program from a .bin and you are working with a freshly installed Linux distro, you might receive the following error – sh: uncompress: command not found. This error might be a result of either you have not installed gunzip on your system, or a proper link association with the compression application does not exist.

I will provide instruction on how to fix the latter first, because usually gunzip should be installed by default. To create the proper file linking we will use the ln command, which is used to create links to files. So, all you have to do is first make sure you are logged in as root, then run the following command:

ln -s /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress

Once this has been done try running the command you executed last when you received the “sh: uncompress: command not found” error. I last encountered this error when I was installing the Valve Source gaming dedicated server – SRCDS, and I was executing the following command – ./hldsupdatetool.bin.

Now, if you do not have gunzip installed, just login as root and use yum or yast to do so. Below is how you can install gunzip using yum.

yum install gzip

Women’s bras – the latest trend in cell phone carriers.

Critic's Realm

The woman’s bra, by definition is a clothing item used to provide support for her breasts. But, in many cases it serves secondary purpose as a “storage compartment”! You know … like the pocket on your pants. Over the years I have seen women use their bras to store money, notes, business cards. Lately, though, I have notices that this trend is changing. Unlike men, women don’t usually wear belts, at lease not ones that can be used to clip or loop things on, i.e. knifes, keys … mobile phone cases.

So, about that changing bra storage compartment trend. I have noticed that now instead of money and business cards getting pulled out of there, cell phones are either protruding from the cleavage or performing a balancing act under one of the straps. I suppose that for some is a genius idea. This way they carry one less item in their hands with their keys, wallet and whatever else, that should be either in a clutch or a purse. By the way, why not buy the cleavage caddy purse.

My personal views about this style – same as it is for wearing sweat pants with writing on the behind, pajamas or slippers at stores or outside the home – not appropriate.
