problems untarring mysql under solaris

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi all:

I am running solaris 2.5.1 and I am having difficulties untarring mysql. It
decompresses a fair bit and then it shows a crc error. I tried 2 diff ver
.38 and .39. In addition, I tried using gnu tar to decompress it however
that binary just hangs.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

regards
Imran.
