Hi,
Here is a follow-up. I downloaded a few other of the tarballs to see how
things were going. I was able to install misc.tar.gz without any
problems. Unfortunately, comp.tar.gz does not get very far.
./usr/bin/gcc
./usr/bin/gdb
tar: Skipping to next file header ...
#
A similar problem with base.tar.gz as I mentioned.
./usr/bin/md5
./usr/bin/merge
tar: Skipping to next file header ...
#
The installation was done in single user mode with the commands in my
previous message.
If I try and boot into multi-user, I am constantly nagged by ld.so
complaining that libraries are not the expected versions. Fortunately, I
had the 970402 -current tarballs still sitting on my box. I went back
into single-user and untarred the tarfiles without any problems.
I think there is something amiss with the tarballs, or is it just me?
