I have a rar and Stuffit won't open it. And for some reason Unrar X wont open on Panther 7B85. So I am wondering how to open a rar file from the command line, any help appreciated.

you need unrar in the command line, it should be in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
you may have to download it

Here's the program I use: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15272

Also what does this have to do with GUI customization?

Sorry guys, I figured the reason UnRarX didn't work was Stuffits problem.

And I have no reason why I posted it in GUI forum

. It was in the morning.

What did you do to get UnRAR X to work with panther? The program won�t open in my computer...

UnrarX 1.5.3 works perfect on my clean install 10.3.1...

I\ve got a clean install also, but it simply won't work. I've tried to uninstall stuffit 8, but the problem still occour

Odd. I did an upgrade of Panther and UnRar works great. Have your tried MacPar as well. (I think that's the name)

I finally made it work. It seems that there is a conflict between Stuffit Expander and UnRarX. The way I solved the problem was first to install Stuffit Deluxe 7 and then uninstalled it again. After that UnRarX has worked perfectly. I still have Expander 8 installed on my machine.

I've also tried MacPar and that program also works perfectly
