Hello,
I have observed with the latest version of Rtools and R 2.12.0 under
Windows Vista or Windows 7 (64bit) that tar issues
errors of the form
"cannot change ownership to uid 1001, gid 100: invalid argument"
when one uses:
tar -xvzf pkg_version.tar.gz
There is an easy work-around:
tar --no-same-owner -xvzf pkg_version.tar.gz
Another possibility is to use an environment variable:
set TAR_OPTIONS=--no-same-owner
Curiously, this error message does not appear when I
extract package archives that I have created myself, so it
appears to be related to the particular environment and
tools used at CRAN to create package archives.
Any tips or ideas?
Thanks,
Dominick
