TAR extracts to relative pathnames. So the files should be placed under whatever your CWD was when you ran the tar command.

That's why the instructions on my page have you do this:

cd /
tar xf /tmp/p7zip.tar

The "cd /" part sets your CWD to /. Therefore the files shoudl appear in /usr/local

If you did not do the cd / beforehand, then the files will be in whatever your CWD was when you issued the 'tar' command. Don't ask me what it was, I wasn't there.

Are you getting any spool file output with errors? Anything in your
joblog? Scott you on board to help out. This now surpasses my
knowledge.

I have the p7zip.tar stmf in /home/qsecofr

When I do the tar xf /home/qsecofr/p7zip.tar I just get the # symbol
but I cannot find the folders /usr/local/lib/p7zip... where would those
be placed?
