Storing a program folder

[theAdmiral]

I wish to extract a *.tar.gz file. It is Eclipse for C++. Where do I extract it to? Thanks, theAdmiral

Re: Storing a program folder

To a temporary folder. Then after you have done the ./configure, make and sudo make install you can delete the temporary folder.
Ps. If you want an alternative to eclipse, it's very slow here, you could have a look at qdevelop. But then again my 2.4 gh processor is not the youngest anymore.
