Directory Checksum Error Tar Xvf
compressed file on a Solaris server. I run the command tar xvf 4.56_release.tar.gz But this reports the following error tar: directory checksum error Initially I thought it was a bad download so I re-downloaded the file (actually a different version) and it reports the same error. Un-compressing and un-tar'ing it on Linux on a Linux server works fine. Any ideas what I am doing wrong. linux tar share|improve this question asked Aug 19 '11 at how to untar .tar file in solaris 10:24 Shawn Vader 6,46263152 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 26 down vote accepted The .tar.gz is the hint for what you are doing wrong - you are not uncompressing it first. If your version of tar supports it, you can use the -z flag to specify it is compressed with gzip: tar -xzvf 4.56_release.tar.gz Otherwise, you'll have to gunzip it manually: gunzip -c 4.56_release.tar.gz | tar xvf - (The reason it works on Linux is probably that is has a newer/different version which automagically detects the compression) share|improve this answer answered Aug 19 '11 at 10:33 carlpett 6,4732961 1 Thanks, the version of tar didn't support the -z but using the gunzip resolved it. –Shawn Vader Aug 19 '11 at 10:41 1 +1 for the automagically. –Florian Müller Aug 15 '13 at 9:49 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.
