I've figured out what I have done wrong, as you said there are two bits to this, I thought the first bit was one way of implementing things and the second another way.
Sorry about that 
Going back to this > http://www.fop2.com/documentation-insta ... arball.php
I am running Elastix on a VM, I have downloaded the file on my desktop.
How do I carry out #> tar zxvf fop2-2.20-centos5-i386.tgz shoudl I not be pointing it to the host machine? Alternatively, how do I download directly from Elastix / CentOs so I can then extract the file?
Hope that makes sense.
Thank you very much,
Once again, apologies.
