Hey Group;

In Alpha5 what would cause a previous and today downloaded OpenOffice.tar.gz not to unzip. Using either tar -xzvf or straight gunzip. I get a failed "invalid compressed-data format" error

At first I thought I had a bad ooo.tar.gz so I downloaded it again.

SuSE supplied gzip-1.3.12-15
Open Office   OOo_2.2.1_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz

Any ideas

Furthermore gzip-1.3.12.tar.gz fails to compile properly failing on a
/usr/include/ system headers.

Number 3 try - (alternate method)

I downloaded OOo_2.2.1_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz for the third time. As a test I opened it with Ark Zipper then exported to a directory. Then "cp -R" to a place (/mnt/sda10/o/OOo} that I do all of this kind of stuff. I then did as OO suggested and cleared unwanted rpms then did "-Uvih RPM/open*.rpm". And it worked.

I must conclude the problem is with either tar or gzip. Ark Zipper and RPM worked. A fresh version of gzip will not compile. when run directly gzip errors out in the same place.
