Re: Header File Package


Deepa,

Hmmm, I thought you would have Cygwin installed.  If so, you should have
the Setup utility, which you can use to install the relevant package.
If not, install Cygwin by following the instructions on the main Cygwin
page <http://cygwin.com/> under "Install Cygwin Now".

However, to answer your question (for an unrelated .tar.bz2 file), be sure
you have the "tar" package installed.  You should be able to extract a
.tar.bz2 file by using "tar -xjf FILENAME" (and, incidentally, a .tar.gz
file by using "tar -xzf FILENAME").  But please don't extract Cygwin
packages using tar (unless you know exactly what you're doing); use the
Setup utility for that, as there's a lot going on behind the scenes during
installation.  Hope this helps.
	Igor
