Hey Group;

In Alpha5 what would cause a previous and today downloaded OpenOffice.tar.gz not to unzip. Using either tar -xzvf or straight gunzip. I get a failed "invalid compressed-data format" error

At first I thought I had a bad ooo.tar.gz so I downloaded it again.

SuSE supplied gzip-1.3.12-15 Open Office OOo_2.2.1_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz

Any ideas

Furthermore gzip-1.3.12.tar.gz fails to compile properly failing on a /usr/include/ system headers. Number 3 try - (alternate method) I downloaded OOo_2.2.1_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz for the third time. As a test I opened it with Ark Zipper then exported to a directory. Then "cp -R" to a place (/mnt/sda10/o/OOo} that I do all of this kind of stuff. I then did as OO suggested and cleared unwanted rpms then did "-Uvih RPM/open*.rpm". And it worked. I must conclude the problem is with either tar or gzip. Ark Zipper and RPM worked. A fresh version of gzip will not compile. when run directly gzip errors out in the same place. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?
