Can't untar mysql on Solaris 8

2002-01-30 Thread Eurico de Sousa

Hi.

I've downloaded the .tar.gz files for MySQL 3.23.48, 3.23.47 and 3.23.46 for 
Sparc-Solaris 8 and all
of them complain of a checksum error on the tar-extract. Here's the output of tar xvf 
of the
gunzip'd-tar file:

x
mysql-3.23.46-sun-solaris2.8-sparc/sql-bench/Results/ATIS-Adabas-Linux_2.0.35_i686-cmp-adabas,mysql,
691 bytes, 2 tape blocks
tar: directory checksum error

All 3 versions give this error at the same spot. I've downloaded these versions off 
several mirror
sites using both HTTP and FTP through my browser and also using FTP without using the 
browser and
every one gives the same problem.

Can anyone please tell me what's going on? Is this a known bug? I'm using Sun's 
/usr/sbin/tar
program. The tar tvf lists out all the contents properly but the extract doesn't work. 
I've run the
tar xf as root and as a normal id - same problem.

I am running Solaris 8 on an Ultra-1 workstation.

Thanks,

Eurico

Yes, it's a bug.  In Solaris.  You must use GNU tar, not Solaris tar.

Use gtar.

Solaris tar is broken (can't handle long file names).  You need to use GNU
tar.  See

Appreciate those of you referring me to GNU tar - it did untar mysql properly whereas 
SUN's tar
couldn't.
