tar command with -zxvf not extracting contents as expected-CodePudding

(ubuntu 18.04)

I'm attempting to extract an odbc driver from a tarball and following

CodePudding user response：

The instructions you linked to do not match the contents of the file I found from here. The first .tar.gz contains two other .tar.gz files. I looked into the 64 bit one and it has:

SimbaODBCDriverforGoogleBigQuery64_2.4.6.1015/
SimbaODBCDriverforGoogleBigQuery64_2.4.6.1015/ErrorMessages/

Your .so is in the lib directory. Based on the instructions it looks like you need to extract this file (or the 32 bit if appropriate) and rename, in this case SimbaODBCDriverforGoogleBigQuery64_2.4.6.1015 to simba/googlebigqueryodbc. The tar command is doing what it is told but the instructions are way off.
