Dear Michael, How did you do the download? I have just downloaded this file using the old fashioned command line ftp method, and it worked fine. I expect that there has been an error somewhere in the transmission.
If you fetch the file from: ftp ftp.ccp4.ac.uk cd ccp4/6.1 get ccp4-6.1.0-core-src.tar.gz you should find that everything is fine. If not, please get in touch directly with the helpdesk at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will try to work out what is happening. Thanks & best wishes, Graeme -----Original Message----- From: CCP4 bulletin board on behalf of Michael Weyand Sent: Thu 12/4/2008 8:59 AM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] ccp4-6.1.0-core-src.tar.gz TAR error Dear Charles, to your information: I just downloaded the Version 6.1 source tar file to my x86_64 Linux box (SuSE 10.2, AMD64) and got the following tar error message.
