I am getting the same complaint from setup, but I don't know how it could be a tar version issue. I am using 1.13.25. tar does report errors on unpacking, but only if using the -v option, so I guess that is why I missed them. Don't know at this point what the issue is because the build directory no longer exists. I will rebuild post-haste and investigate. JRP
