Unable to untar src files

Hi,

I have downloaded the src (and the binary) for zimbra. I am trying the following command to unzip/untar:

tar -xvzf ./zcs-3.0.0_M2_740-src.tgz

and it yeilds the following error:

tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I then download the latest and greatest gnu tar, configure, make, make install, then:

../tar/tar-1.13/src/tar -xvzf ./zcs-3.0.0_M2_740-src.tgz

and it yeilds the following error:

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
../tar/tar-1.13/src/tar: Child returned status 1
../tar/tar-1.13/src/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I am running Red Hat 9. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Do you have an incomplete or corrupt download?

The md5sum is:

MD5 (zcs-3.0.0_M2_740-src.tgz) = 859dc366a9da563c92586e268576c624

I think that was what the problem was. This has been resolved (ie: this thread can be closed).

Thanks for the help

Cheers,

B.
