Yes hp's tar is "bad" like the other commercial unixes. You'll need to download/compile/install the GNU tar.

We talked about Tomcat & HP-UX a while ago and I was advised that I didn't
have to wait for HP to get around to providing a version of Tomcat 4, that I
should be able to grab one from the site and unzip it. So we've installed
the Apache/Tomcat bundle provided by HP [Apache 2.0.39.05.03 and Tomcat
3.3.1] which works fine, and will now attempt to replace the version of
Tomcat they provided with 4.1.12.

I was able to gunzip the jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14.tar.gz file, but tar
-xvf failed. I see that there's a note about Solaris and Mac OS X not
having the right version of tar, and I wonder if HP-UX is in the same
situation:

[lots snipped]
/webapp/admin/valve/De, 3889 bytes, 8 tape blocks

tar: creating as regular file.

x ././@LongLink, 118 bytes, 1 tape blocks

directory checksum error
So I started over, unzipped the whole thing on Windows 2000 and WS-FTP'd it
up to the HP box. Everything is owned by root, I'm running this as root
[just testing!] and I get:

# ./startup.sh

Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat

Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat

Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat/temp

Using JAVA_HOME: /opt/java1.4

#
That's all. Nothing in the log directory, no other messages on the console.

Everywhere else I've installed [unzipped!] Tomcat, it has just worked
immediately, so I'm not too sure where to go looking for problems. I don't
have any error messages to search the archives for, either. Any ideas?

Thanks!
