I retrieved the Gatos drivers to allow me to do video capture with my ATI card. one of the files is km-0.2.1.tgz. I *THOUGHT* the .tgz meant that it was a gzipped tar file. So I issued the following:
tar -xvzf km-0.2.1.tgz
In return I got the following error message:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
How can I unpack the file. It shouldn't matter at all with tar, but I'm running 8.2 if you think it does.
Either the file is mis-named or it is corrupt. The thing to do is to try all other permutations of extraction. tar xvf would be the first. I doubt if it is a bzip2 file but you could try that. Assume it is misnamed... and try some things with it. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
