How would I point to it? Sounds like you are trying to unzip directly to the CD itself. That of course won't work since it is read-only. Do something like this: cd ~ tar zxvf /cdrom/path/to/php-4.0.1pl2.tar.gz Then it will create a directory in your home directory and you can cd into that and run ./configure ...; make install -Rasmus
