I'm following  the instructions @ http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=10978.0 and executing the command "tar -C /usr/src -zxv linux-2.6.32.9.tar.gz"

 

 

But nothing ever happens... it just sits there.

 

 

What's going on here?

Wait for couple of minutes, its uncompressing the tarball.

I waited overnight. Did nothing. also please note the v command for verbose, it should have been showing something. I extracted it somewhere else and copied it to that machine. solved for now I guess.

Or, alternatively you could have:

• created a directory first (via mkdir)
  
• changed to that directory (via cd)
  
• then tar -xzfv <file_name>.tar.gz
  

 

That should have worked too, but I am glad it worked for you.

Try this instead.

tar -C /usr/src -zxvf linux-2.6.32.9.tar.gz

 

(That's -zxvf instead of just -zxv)

 

Alternatively, you could try using the script on post#5 of that thread instead.  It made my installation much easier.
