After extract from tar, commands cannot see file?
Hi,

Hi recently downloaded the source code from Advanced Programming in the Unix Envrionment 2e and extracted the source from its tar file. The extracted files have these characteristics:
1) They can can be seen in a directory listing and brought up for viewing in emacs;
2) They cannot be seen by commands such as gcc and stat.

As a sanity check, I copied the contents of one file as I saw it in emacs to a new file that I crated in my home directory, and I am able to stat and gcc the new file. I demonstrate this problem in the listing at the end of this post.

I've tried modifying the permissions on the file that I extracted, but chmod does not see the file either.

What can I do to make these usable?

Many thanks.

--Phil

   Database Package
       The database package is a complete installation for WordNet 3.0 users.  It includes the 3.0 database files, source  code  for  the  WordNet
       browsers and library, and documentation.  The other packages are not included - they must be downloaded and installed separately.

       Note  that  with  this  version	of  WordNet  for Unix platforms, only source code is provided.	Users should carefully read the README and
       INSTALL files for detailed information on compiling WordNet and dependencies.

   Prolog Database Package
       The WordNet 3.0 database files are available in this package in a Prolog-readable format.  Documentation  describing  the  file	format	is
       included.   This  package  is only downloadable in compressed tar file format, although once unpackaged it can be used from Windows systems
       since the files are in ASCII.  Many Windows utilities, such as WinZip, can deal with a compressed tar file.

   Sense Map Package
       To help users automatically convert 2.1 noun and verb senses to their corresponding 3.0 senses, we provide  sense  mapping  information	in
       this  package.	This  package  contains files to map polysemous and monosemous words, and documentation that describes the format of these
       files.  As with the Prolog database, this package is only downloadable in compressed tar format, but the files are also in ASCII.

NOTES

       The lexicographer files and grind(1WN) program are not generally distributed.

       All of the packages described above may not be available at the time of release of the 3.0 database package.
