I have been trying to uncompress DBI-1.18.tar.gz which I downloaded
together with
Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216.tar.gz &
Data-ShowTable-3.3.tar.gz
from the MySQL down load page...
I followed the direction in the DBE-1.18 README but if I use the pipe
as instructed... gzip -cd DBI-1.18.tar.gz | tar xf -cd DBI-1.18
I get .... tar: Cannot open -cd: No such file or directory
if I try w/o -cd ... gzip -cd DBI-1.18.tar.gz | tar xf
DBI-1.18.tar.gz
I get....... tar: Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next file header
tar: Only read 3690 bytes from archive
DBI-1.18.tar.gz
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
broken pipe
Same if I drop the last .tar.gz
If I try gzip -cd DBI-1.18.tar.gz
The entire archive just decompresses and flashes across the console
never to disk..
Tried to uncompress on two machines same results
Caldera Linux kernals 2.2.14 and 2.2.10
Please help as I would like to use Perl with MySQL..
