Before you decompress tarballs, it is a good idea to make a list of files on the system before you install OpenLDAP, and one afterwards, and then compare them using diff to find out what file it placed where. Simply run find `/* > OpenLDAP1` before and find `/* > OpenLDAP2` after you install the software, and use diff `OpenLDAP1 OpenLDAP2 > OpenLDAP-Installed` to get a list of what changed.

Compile and decompress the tarball, `tar.gz`.

                     [root@deep] /# cp openldap-version.tgz /var/tmp
                     [root@deep] /# cd /var/tmp/
                     [root@deep ]/tmp# tar xzpf openldap-version.tgz
