untarring gcc-g++-3.4.4.tar.gz / bz2

[michael.hobbs]

Hi All,

Don't know if you can help, but every time I untar the gcc-g++-3.4.4.tar
package (after bunzipping or gunzipping it) I get the following error:

x gcc-3.4.4
/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/27_io/basic_istream/extractors_arithmetic/char/11.cc,
 2022 bytes, 4 tape blocks
x gcc-3.4.4
/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/27_io/basic_istream/extractors_arithmetic/char/12.cc,
 2756 bytes, 6 tape blocks
x gcc-3.4.4
/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/27_io/basic_istream/extractors_arithmetic/char/13.cc,
 2316 bytes, 5 tape blocks
tar: directory checksum error

I get this error if I use the individual package (gcc-g++-3.4.4.tar) or the
entire package (gcc-3.4.4.tar.gz). It's always at the same point, and also
occurs regardless of the compression (bz2 or gzip)

I am downloading from the ftp mirror, mirror.ac.uk, and the md5 checksum on
the packages matches. I'm using Solaris 9 (SunOS5.9) on an ultrasparc.

Is the package actually broken? or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,
Mike

Sorry for bothering you all, this is sorted - My version of tar was too
old.  :o)

Thanks!
Mike
