What do you get when you 'tar --version' ?
I get 'tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1'
If you get..
tar: s: unknown option
Usage: tar {txruc}[vfbFXhiBEelmopwnq[0-7]] [-k size] [tapefile] [blocksize]
[exclude-file] [-I include-file] files ..
Wrong tar :(
You can do this... With the gnu tar..
tar xvzf net-snmp-5.2.1.tar.gz
cd net-snmp-5.2.1
./configure
make
make test
make install

Thanks for all of the responses everybody!
I Dl'ed the newest version of tar from sunfreeware.com and installed the
package on my server (along with the libiconv package it says it requires).
Now I am having tar problems. This is what I get:
Bash-2.03# /usr/local/bin/tar
/usr/local/bin/tar: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected bash-2.03# gzip -cd
net-snmp-5.2.1.tar.gz | /usr/local/bin/tar xvf -
bash: /usr/local/bin/tar: cannot execute binary file Broken Pipe
Sorry for all of the questions, but I am new to the Unix/Linux world and the
help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

download gnu tar from www.sunfreeware.com and invoke it as /usr/local/bin/tar.
It's a known solaris bug.
>I am trying to un-tar the net-snmp-5.2.1.tar file on a Solaris 8 server
and
I get the following message: "tar: directory checksum error " .Is anyone having
this same problem? If so what did you do to fix it?
