Oops, missed that post. Sorry. It says:
==================== "The issue is that /usr/bin/tar on MacOSX 10.6 is BSD tar rather than GNU tar (unlike MacOSX 10.5), and GPT requires GNU tar as documented at: http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/latest-stable/admin/install/#gtadmin-prereq-required A solution is to install GNU tar from <http://www.finkproject.org/> or elsewhere, then (re-)install GPT." ==================== What bothers me is that the issue only shows up with the latests 5.0.1 release. I just double-checked and downloaded 5.0.0 and it builds (still building) just fine on 10.6. This problem seems to be 5.0.1-specific. BTW: OS X 10.6 comes with GNU tar: /usr/bin/gnutar Cheers, Ole On Jul 9, 2010, at 2:19 PM, Jim Basney wrote: > http://lists.globus.org/pipermail/gt-user/2009-September/008482.html > > On 7/9/10 2:14 PM, Ole Weidner wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I can't build Globus 5.0.1 on OS X 1.6: >> >> macpro01:gt5.0.1-all-source-installer oweidner$ mkdir /tmp/globus/ >> macpro01:gt5.0.1-all-source-installer oweidner$ export >> GLOBUS_LOCATION=/tmp/globus >> macpro01:gt5.0.1-all-source-installer oweidner$ ./configure >> --prefix=$GLOBUS_LOCATION >> checking build system type... i686-apple-darwin10.4.0 >> configure: creating ./config.status >> config.status: creating Makefile >> macpro01:gt5.0.1-all-source-installer oweidner$ make gridftp >> cd gpt && OBJECT_MODE=32 ./build_gpt >> build_gpt ====> installing GPT into /tmp/globus >> build_gpt ====> building >> /Users/oweidner/Projects/OS-X-Installers/Globus/5.0.1/gt5.0.1-all-source-installer/gpt/support/Compress-Zlib-1.21 >> build_gpt ====> building >> /Users/oweidner/Projects/OS-X-Installers/Globus/5.0.1/gt5.0.1-all-source-installer/gpt/support/IO-Zlib-1.01 >> build_gpt ====> building >> /Users/oweidner/Projects/OS-X-Installers/Globus/5.0.1/gt5.0.1-all-source-installer/gpt/support/makepatch-2.00a >> build_gpt ====> building >> /Users/oweidner/Projects/OS-X-Installers/Globus/5.0.1/gt5.0.1-all-source-installer/gpt/support/Archive-Tar-0.22 >> build_gpt ====> building >> /Users/oweidner/Projects/OS-X-Installers/Globus/5.0.1/gt5.0.1-all-source-installer/gpt/support/PodParser-1.18 >> build_gpt ====> building >> /Users/oweidner/Projects/OS-X-Installers/Globus/5.0.1/gt5.0.1-all-source-installer/gpt/support/Digest-MD5-2.20 >> build_gpt ====> building >> /Users/oweidner/Projects/OS-X-Installers/Globus/5.0.1/gt5.0.1-all-source-installer/gpt/packaging_tools >> /tmp/globus/sbin/gpt-build -srcdir=source-trees-thr/core/source >> gcc32dbgpthr >> /tmp/globus/etc/gpt/globus_core-src.tar.gz could not be untarred:32512 >> Died at /tmp/globus/lib/perl/Grid/GPT/PkgMngmt/ExpandSource.pm line 42. >> make: *** [globus_core-thr-compile] Error 127 >> >> Any ideas what's going wrong here?
