Problem saving archives with Ark

[dimmutal]

Consider the following scenario. I've to windows open, the one is the folder that contains some files i want to compress. The other is Ark. I drag and drop the files in Ark and it prompts me to create an archive.

1. If i choose to save the archive in the /home/... path and the archive is anything else APART FROM rar file it does it ok.
2. If i choose to save the archive in the /home/... path and the archive is a rar file i get the message "The utiliti is not in your path. Please install it or contact your systems administrator".
3. If i choose to save the archive in the /media/my other hard drives path i get the message "you do not have write permissions to /media/my other drives...".

I use KDE4. Any suggestions?

"rar" is in your repos, you can install it using your package manager. As for the permissions problem, do a search for "can't write to hard drive", see if that helps.
