    Have you installed?: build-essential

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    This is a very old version of unrar. On my system, it is up to version 4.0. You might try a newer version to see if it fixes the extraction problem.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    It does not give a reason for the error however since every single item failed it could be permission problem. Make sure you have rights to extract and the director you're extracting, and if that does not work Rubberman is correct: you mi each ght try a newer version of rar.
