missing unrar in the new OS6

All,

Sorry for not reacting any sooner, I found an other way to install the latest unrar:

# cd /tmp

Download from rarlab, check the version first

# wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-x64-5.3.b4.tar.gz

Unpack

# tar -zxvf rarlinux-*.tar.gz

# cd rar

Check that this version runs and is the one you want (adding ./ before the command makes sure you execute the version in your current directory.
#./unrar

Backup your current rar and unrar versions:

# mv /usr/local/bin/unrar /usr/local/bin/unrar-old

# mv /usr/local/bin/rar /usr/local/bin/rar-old

Copy new version to bin

# cp rar unrar /usr/local/bin

# cd ~

You should now be able to run the new version from anywhere

# unrar

The reason I needed a new version was that unrar crashed as soon as I started to unpack the large multipart rar files I downloaded of the internet. A quick test this morning showed that the newly downloaded version works better.
