[mdb-dev] help needed

[Justus V. <j2j...@ya...>]

Greetings to You.

I am trying to install the mdbtools.tar.gz. I changed the name, but i left the extension as it is. It is located in my home directory. so i tried the following command ~$ sudo apt-get install mdbtools.tar.gz it said that the "couldn't find package.

so i tried  ~$ sudo apt-get install '/home/assisteng/mdbtools.tar.gz' and it gave the same error. I tried ~$ sudo apt-get install /home/assisteng/mdbtools.tar.gz and it still didnot work.

I am using ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon. 

another difficulty i had another computer using the same gutsy gibbon was my openoffice was responding.  I tried to install it, but i am not getting through.

I am only 3 weeks old in the linux world, so please be patient with me. I will learn with help from good people like you all.
 
Can you please help me. Thank you in advance.

Best Regards
Justus Victor
