how do i get this linux program to run?

Q. i unzipped and unpacked the tar.gz file and used the configure, make, and make install commands on the source directory, and i can see the new directory with the binary files that were created, but it still says the program is not installed. how can i get it running? if it matters the program is called abinit.

A. I assume you did not get ANY errors during the configure, make, and make install commands.
Did you try to run the program from the source directory? ./abinit would be the command.
What is the result of the command
which abinit
Did you read all the .txt and .readme files? There might be instructions on how to run the program. The command to run the program might not be abinit. Try to run each of the binary files in the source directory: ./filename

Hope this helps

Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer HELP 10 points?
Q. I was recording some gameplay with my capture card and it went to a blue screen and said windows has shut down to prevent damage to you computer my dads friend custom built it a week ago please help (it was only on for 20 minutes and I har not downloaded anything)

A. BSOD, the Blue Screen Of Death, the curse of all Windows users...
Very few BSOD are caused by an actual hardware problem or failure, in fact almost 99.9% of all Windows BSOD are due to system corruption caused by an infection with a virus, worm, trojan, exploit or other malware.

The problem with Windows users is that they are locked inside that nice and polished Microsoft box and refuse to see anything else outside of it.
Windows is the most susceptible to infections and attacks, being in fact the less safe operating system. No matter what you do, Windows will, sooner rather than later, be infected and/or corrupted.
You, or others, are gonna jump up and say: "But I do have proper system protection, antivirus and such!"
WRONG! New viruses and other malware will almost always find a way around that. As long as you continue to use Windows, YOU ARE NEVER 100% SAFE.
LINUX is the only 100% safe operating system, even Mac OS X can be corrupted, granted not as easy as Windows.

What most Windows computer users fail to understand is this:
Besides corrupting your Windows operating system files, the first thing a virus or other malware does, is to either disable or otherwise corrupt your antivirus or any other system protection software program. That is why most of the times you cannot safely, effectively and completely detect and remove a virus infection in a Windows environment. Sometimes the infection is so bad that even your bootsector and master boot record (MBR) gets corrupted, and the computer won't even boot up into Windows anymore.
Most people panick, and either pay a lot of money to some idiot at the Best Buy Geek Squad to remove the infection and repair their Windows system, or they just wipe off everything (losing important personal data), and re-install Windows or do a factory restore.
WRONG AGAIN: You should always try this first:

For a proper scan and removal of any virus, worm, trojan and any other malware, the best way is to use a System Rescue CD, like BitDefender or Kaspersky. Those are both bootable CDs, that run scans in a safe Linux environment, not corrupted by anything.
Go to a different, healthy, non-infected PC or laptop and download both the BitDefender and the Kaspersky Anti-virus Recovery CDs (free downloads).
Download links for both:
http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk
Burn both downloaded iso files to CD with an iso burner software. If you do not have an iso burning software installed, I recommend getting the CDBurnerXP (free software) from here:
http://cdburnerxp.se/
Or just use this little utility to write the .ISO to a CD:
http://www.hiren.info/download/freeware-tools/BurnCDCC.zip
Just download, unzip and run the BURNCDCC.EXE, no installation is necesarry.
Once you burned the recovery CDs, return to the infected computer and put the BitDefender Anti-virus Recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive and boot from CD (set your boot up options in BIOS to CD boot as first option if it does not boot from CD at first)
After your infected computer boots into the Recovery CD Linux environment, first update the virus definition database from the Internet server, than perform a complete scan of your desktop computer or laptop (all hard drives and/or partitions). Remove (delete) any infections found, and shut down your desktop computer or laptop.
Remove the BitDefender Anti-virus Recovery CD and insert the Kaspersky Anti-virus Recovery CD.
Repeat the same procedure as for BitDefender above.
After scanning with those 2 Anti-virus Recovery CDs, your system should be virus free, and will function properly again.

You might also need to do a master boot record (MBR) repair on your system, if your MBR also got corrupted.
Download the Windows 7 or Vista System Recovery Discs (according to what you got), $9.75 here:
http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
Burn the ISO to a CD, boot from it and repair your MBR.
Or, with a little computer knowledge, you can create your own System Recovery Disc from an existing installation of Windows, read here:

Good luck.

How do you open or view an HTML tarball in windows xp ?
Q. I down loaded a book in HTML tarball form and I can't figure out how to view it. (http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/index.html )
I am hoping someone can help. Thanks.

A. Hello. You need to untar, or in the case of Windows, "unzip" the file. You can use one of the many unzip utilities that support .tar files. I prefer WinZip, which isn't free, but you can download the trail version, which will give you what you need, here: http://www.winzip.com/trialpay.htm

Another option, of course, is to switch to Linux, which supports .tar files nativly.
