Hi there,
I've just downloaded the sources tarball from
http://www.postgresql.org/ftpsite/v7.2/postgresql-7.2.tar.gz
but I can't unpack it:
postgresql-7.2/configure.in
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
is the file on the server corrupt or should I try to download it again?
--
Try: tar xfz postgresql-7.2.tar.gz
or: tar xf postgresql-7.2.tar.gz
If you use Netscape to download it, it is already un-gziped.
If both of the commands above do not work, then you may need to
re-download it.

Strange. Can you provide a debugger backtrace from the segfault?
Another thing that might be useful is to log the queries
well, with gnu tar, the command is actually
tar -zxvf postgresql-7.2.tar.gz
with the '-' and the 'v' optional
The 'z' tells tar that the file is compressed.
Best regards,

Just a note:
$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25
$ tar -zxf test.tar.gz
$ tar zxf test.tar.gz
Both work fine.
$ tar -fxz test.tar.gz
tar (child): test.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
...
$ tar fxz test.tar.gz
$
I just learned today that if I use the '-', then f needs to be la

I've used wget, and I know how to use tar, thanks :) The error happens
