I'm getting errors when I try to unzip nhc 1.14. Is there really something wrong or am I just being incompetent?
First, check that the ftp download was correct. If the sizes don't match, then either the process was truncated early, or it was in ASCII mode rather than binary. 6202862 nhc98src-1.14.tar.gz 5296472 nhc98-1.14-ix86-Linux.tar.gz
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
Then check is it GNU tar? Does a simple gzip -d on the file work ok? Regards, Malcolm
