May I ask which distribution you are using?

If you are using Ubuntu, the package cabextract can read and extract a .cab file while the pacakge lcab lets you create one.

You may install the lcab package via the apt-get install command:

sudo apt-get install lcab

You may search the packages you want at Ubuntu Packages Search.

Please let me know if you are not using Ubuntu.

  • I'm looking for something to work both on Ubuntu Server & REH ... Solaris/OpenSolaris will be a dream ... too – user68682 Apr 07 '10 at 10:36
  • [Here](http://www.cabextract.org.uk/) is the official site of `cabextract`. You may find `.deb` (Debian / Ubuntu), `.rpm` (Redhat / Fedora / CentOS) as well as `.pkg` (Solaris) packages there. Alternatively, you may use the `yum install cabextract` command to install `cabextract` on Radhat too. You may find `lcab` [here](http://freshmeat.net/projects/lcab/). As far as I know, there is no Redhat / Solaris package for it. But since it says it's POSIX compatible, you should be able to compile it as usual. – Siu Ching Pong -Asuka Kenji- Apr 08 '10 at 08:02

Have a look to lcab or libmspack.
