The SuSe9.1 version that is loaded on my HP nx5000 laptop does not contain support for uuencode/uudecode. Packaged applications that I am trying to run are looking for this functionality. Where can I get this uuencode/uudecode functionality from and is it easily introduced into my system?
Install the package sharutils from the distribution media. That will give you /usr/bin/uuencode and /usr/bin/uudecode
Thanks. Appreciate the help. I don't see sharutils on my SuSE HP OEM linux 9.1 distribution CD (under /suse/i586 or other places). What are my alternatives? Am I safe in going to the gnu site and picking this up? thanks, shankar
