Hello Charles,

Thank you for telling me how to unpack the files. I'm sorry, but actually the 
following command didn't work.
   % zcat xplor-nih-3.6-Linux_x86_64.old.tar.gz | tar xf -
   % zcat xplor-nih-3.6-db.tar.gz | tar xf -

The reason may be that the files are doubly packed. In the case of 
xplor-nih-3.6-db.tar.gz, I finally succeeded in unpacking using following 
command.
        % gunzip xplor-nih-3.6-db.tar.gz
        % tar xvf xplor-nih-3.6-db.tar

On the other hand, in the case of xplor-nih-3.6-Linux_x86_64.old.tar.gz, the 
"gunzip" command didn't work. The error massage is "invalid compressed 
data--format violated".
The error happened in version 3.5 as well. Could you send me the ".tar" 
version, which is not doubly packed, if available. I think it can be unpacked 
even in my PC. 


Best Regards,
Arata

You are correct: the installer script requires internet access. To install from 
the .tar.gz files follow the instructions here:

  
https://jpn01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.niddk.nih.gov%2Fxplor-nih%2FINSTALL.txt&data=05%7C01%7Csaso.ac%40om.asahi-kasei.co.jp%7C4ef1ef22814f49457ba208dae1cfdbae%7Cfdc3f8bd993b4d3098b4f531ed2ecc5c%7C0%7C0%7C638070580109050462%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=gha6Wq9Mkxc%2F8h4U0n%2F8tlE06NjN%2BJqteUWXtWYvHLo%3D&reserved=0

These are the important steps:

-obtain a copy of the platform independent -db distribution file in  addition 
to one or more platform specific binary file.

-unpack these files wherever you plan on installing xplor.
   % cd /opt
   % zcat xplor-nih-3.6-Linux_x86_64.old.tar.gz | tar xf -
   % zcat xplor-nih-3.6-db.tar.gz | tar xf -

-generate the xplor command and helper commands. 
   % cd xplor-nih-3.6
   % ./configure  

The xplor script and helper programs are then in /opt/xplor-nih-3.6/bin

best regards--
Charles
