[SAC-HELP] installing SAC on Fedora 6

[weeraratne at dtm.ciw.edu]

I just received the recent SAC version to run on my linux box (Fedora 6).
I do have tar -z options, but was not able to install without errors. I
also tried the
gzip -d -c XXX.tgz | tar -xf -
command and also received similar errors before installation
(uncompressing) was complete. The error message is below. If anyone has
had any similar problems installing on this system, I would be grateful
for advice.


Error message:
--------------------------------------------------

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

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

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

After this message, the only directories created are
/sac/aux
/sac/bin/sac
