Is this everything? The next lines should have been output from the curl command, indicating success or failure for the download. That command should put a file in /sw/src/mpg123-pre0.59s.tar.gz. Is it there? How big is the file? If it's small (under 10k or so), it could be an html error message rather than a .tar.gz compressed archive -- if so that would explain your first error. If it's big -- my copy is a bit under 250kb -- then the download probably worked, and the problem is elsewhere. Either way, it would help to see more of your output... -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / Boston.com systems administrator Help bring Connector to OSX: PetitionOnline.com/osximian "More war soon.
