I download the tar.gz 2 files.

I try to open them and I get an error.

Code: Select all

tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I cannot extract what ever inside to install.

Linux Mint Release Linux Mint 22.1 Xia 64-bit.

Improperly compressed 1.17.7 archives

That thread is probably relevant.

This is with makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tar.gz & makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar.gz .

It isn't a TAR until you remove the gzip encoding that makes it smaller. Kind of like zip, but it isn't.

First extract the TAR file from the tar.gz file (gunzip makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar.gz) then you can use TAR to break the files out.

Nice. Thank you.

You seem sophisticated.

What about this?

admin1@ItsAlive:~/Downloads/Makemkv/makemkv-bin-1.18.1$ cd /home/admin1/Downloads/ffmpeg-7.1.1
admin1@ItsAlive:~/Downloads/ffmpeg-7.1.1$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/ffmpeg --enable-static --disable-shared --enable-pic
nasm/yasm not found or too old. Use --disable-x86asm for a crippled build.

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.libera.chat.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

Ok, installed both nasm/yasm.

All is good for now. Thank you.
