Hello, What version of tar are you using? Maybe you need to do tar xvf 20100525-Helmut.tar x - extract v - verbose f - file or even better, for the lazy programmer: tar xjvf 20100525-Helmut.tar.bz2 j - run thru bzip Keith On Wed, 26 May 2010, Jean-Luc CECCOLI wrote:
Hello all, Yesterday, I downloaded Helmut's package for testing. I successfully could unbzip it, but then, when trying to untar it, nothing happened. I tried with another tar archive, which couldn't be untared as well. The command from the shell is the one I used the previous time I installed a package : tar -x20100525-Helmut.tar I tried with gnutar, from the desktop, with no ssuccess either. Am I going mad ? Did I miss something ? Regards, J.-Luc
