Linux 5.2 doesn't exist yet. Perhaps you meant Red Hat 5.2, which
probably means you're running Linux 2.0.36 or thereabouts.

Just a guess: WinZip might have gotten something wrong. Try copying
qmail-1.03.tar.gz itself to your Linux box, then unpack it using
$ tar xzf qmail-1.0.3.tar.gz
or, if your tar doesn't like the `z',
$ gunzip < qmail-1.0.3.tar.gz | tar xf -

Did you run `make setup check' as root, or a normal user? You need to
be root. I wouldn't think this would be the error you'd get for
running as a normal user, but it's all I can think of.
