1. cd /usr/local/src
2. mkdir freeswitch : where i wish do the set up installation

This is where you will compile FreeSWITCH, but not where it'll be installed. It will install to the standardised FHS paths (/usr/local/bin etc),

i try to tar it i get the following error for the command that i write
6.  tar -xvfz freeswitch-1.2.5.3.tar.bz2

The correct command for a .tar.bz2 is:
tar -jxvf freeswitch-1.2.5.3.tar.bz2

-j = .bz2, -z is for .gz. They're different compression algorithm. bzip2 generally gives better compression, but takes longer to compress.
-x = extract
-v = verbose (optional), will tell you each file extracted
-f filename = what file to extract
-f must appear just before the filename, in the one you were trying you had xvfz, the fz means it would've been looking for a tarball called 'z'

hello all,

           thanks for the updates still there is a lot of confusion when it
comes to the path's that has to be followed when the set up has to be
installed . kindly guide me where i m wrong and let me know.

1. cd /usr/local/src
2. mkdir freeswitch : where i wish do the set up installation
3. cd /usr/local/src/freeswitch
4. wget the stable version path
5. now that i have the file in freeswitch folder freeswitch-1.2.5.3.tar.bz2
i try to tar it i get the following error for the command that i write
6.  tar -xvfz freeswitch-1.2.5.3.tar.bz2

thanks in advance
