Hi guys, I don't know whether this is a newbie build error, but I was building the 5.0.1 globus toolkit version on Mac OSX 10.6.3 as per the instructions for the 10.6 build and got the following error with both the globus and root user:
make gridftp ... /usr/local/globus-5.0.1/sbin/gpt-build -srcdir=source-trees-thr/core/source gcc32dbgpthr /usr/local/globus-5.0.1/etc/gpt/globus_core-src.tar.gz could not be untarred:32512 Died at /usr/local/globus-5.0.1/lib/perl/Grid/GPT/PkgMngmt/ExpandSource.pm line 42. It appears that the default gtar program set by $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/lib/perl/Grid/GPT/LocalEnv.pm was "Not Available", I assume this is generated by the configure script. I had to set this manually '/usr/bin/tar' in LocalEnv.pm to get the build to work. I also built the code on another machine running Mac OSX 10.5.8 without any problems. Hope this helps somebody who might come up against a similar issue. Michael
