Do you have the source code of this application or just the binaries? Do you know which language it is written in?
Are there other steps that you take after unpacking the archive? Where do you normally unpack it?
What does the application do?

Hi fanzio12,
Welcome to the Ubuntuforums!!
Your thread is not about "Programming Talk", hence it is moved to "General Help" sub-forum.
Please provide more information about the application you are trying to install. If it is source tarball there should be a README file or something similar that contains information about how to install and configure.
However you can avoid installation from source if the software is already available in repositories.
Best of Luck!!

thanks r-senior,
the application is called fids (flight information display system).
The server runs SCO Unix 2.1.2.
So I have the server runnig the application (name "Greek18"). I do not have the source code. It is installed under root/app. Everytime I need to transfer it in an onother system which runs SCO Unix I am following the steps:
- going to /app and tar cvf /app
- then in the new server tar xvf /app
the application runs when typing "fids", calls upa shell procedure contained in the directory /app/tools
Do you have the source code of this application or just the binaries? NO
Do you know which language it is written in? NO
Are there other steps that you take after unpacking the archive? no
Where do you normally unpack it? /app

OK, so it sounds like you have binaries. I don't think they will work.
This might be of interest, although it looks like it's not being maintained.
