- I experienced similar problems with the binaries at first. I did the
- downloading and everrything in binary as supposed and uncompressed
- the archive in the MacPartition using macCompress. The problem in my
- case seemed to be the dragging of the tape archive to the unix
- filesystem. The archive untar'ed fine, but the binbaries were unusable.
-
- The problem went away when I copied the *.Z archive instead from the
- MacPartition, and did the uncompressing etc on the unix side.
-
- Also you might check you're target directories, as Jim Jagielski pointed out.
