Steven,

You have incorrectly typed the gunzip command. You have used "gunzip -d" 
instead of the "gunzip -c". You also have an incorrect ";" in the file name.

You have downloaded a binary distribution, which does not contain source code.
Unpack the distribution using:

gunzip -c gempak_upc_linux5.10.3.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

After unpacking, edit the Gemenviron or Gemenviron.profile depending
on your shell as described here:

After sourcing the environment to your shell, see the online tutorial here:
