Depending on what distro you are using, libtar has a bug in it, when it tries to do 64-bit. This is a distro bug, not a bug in libtar. I've heard of ArchLinux and Mandriva having this bug. You can read more about the bug in this thread here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20070803200729.GA7068%40foursquare.net What distro are you using? Are you compiling for 64 bit? Where did you get the package for libtar? For RPM based systems, I've usually just downloaded the src.rpm from the URL below, and build it myself: ftp://ftp.nrc.ca/pub/systems/linux/redhat/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/source/SRPMS/libtar-1.2.11-9.fc8.src.rpm rpm -i libtar-1.2.11-9.fc8.src.rpm (become root) cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS rpmbuild -ba libtar.spec rpm -i ../RPMS/*/libtar*rpm - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
