Thanks for the suggestion, I just now installed libarchive-ar-perl, but Ark still cannot recognize AR archive :-( Strangely, it can open .DEB which is also a type of AR archive, but not "pure" AR archives themselves. -- Satish.BD On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 15:59, Iuri Guilherme dos Santos Martins

Viewing contents of AR archive in KDE

2011-12-04 Thread bd satish
Hi, Like y'all know, AR archive is used for static libraries [ libxyz.a ]. When opening it with Ark (KDE 4.4.5, Squeeze), it pops with with error "Unable to determine archive type". Instead it presents a list of all archive formats which it recognizes, but this list does not include AR archive.

Thanks Bob, Tom and Porcia ! Bob's "Bohr model of linux kernel" was an excellent one. I was just curious to know the nomenclature of that package & now i have an idea of what happens. I'm happy with current kernel because all my hardware is detected/working properly, so I find no reason to upgrade
