I had this problem on a Centos cloud server. The obvious first thing is to make sure tar is installed. Look for a file /bin/tar or possibly /usr/bin/tar and make sure it exists.
Then make sure the tar config directive is set in cpan. do *cpan> o conf tar * and it should respond something like tar [/bin/tar] If it doesn't respond with the correct directory for /bin/tar, do *cpan> o conf tar /bin/tar *(or /usr/bin/tar or wherever it is) *cpan> o conf commit* Still not working? The issue that I ran into was there was not enough kernel memory, and apparently this is a common issue in virtual systems. All I did was *stop mysql* and that was enough. I don't fully understand why this last step was necessary to solve the issue as I figured the resource manager would be intelligent enough to figure it out. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
