Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Tar extract Z file Post 303039120 by stomp on Monday 23rd of September 2019 03:18:56 PM

Code:
tar (child): compress: Cannot exec: No such file or directory

As the slightly irritating message states: the compress utility is not found. You have to install it.

In Ubuntu the corresponding package is called ncompress.
