Using gunzip to decompress .zip file
Hi,
I have a zipped Oralce software (linux.x64_11gR1_database.zip) and I need to unzip it. On the Linux server, I only see the gunzip utility listed: [oracle@rac1 bin]$ ls -ltr *zip* -rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60320 Jan 15 2008 gzip -rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60320 Jan 15 2008 gunzip Can I use the command "gunzip" to decompress the file thta has the extension .zip? [oracle@rac1]$gunzip linux.x64_11gR1_database.zip Thanks!

Sorry no, you need to use the unzip command (pkunzip should work too).
zip files are a combination of a file globbing and compression (like a tar and gzip combined), gzip files only ever contain one compressed file (and tar files can contain many but are not compressed). On most systems, /usr/bin/unzip should be present, strange that it's not there on your system
