I think IBM's versions officially work on Red Hat. Somewhere along the line one of the cpio arguments' official meanings has been reversed, and I think RH hasn't changed.
You're probably right in saying it's the "c" option, which now in most non-RH distros has exactly the *opposite* effect that it does in RH. Unfortunate... But that explains why removing it for non-RH works.

The issue seems to be related to a quirk in the Linux version of the cpio command. I changed the command line to NOT include the "c" command line parameter. Try this: cpio -ivBdum instead of cpio -icvBdum Regards, Raul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 01/17/2008 02:47:04 PM: > Ibm trying to install SB 5.4.1 PE on Fedora 8 and Ibm getting an error: > > > > sh-3.2# cpio -icvBdum < pe_sb541_uv_cpio > > cpio: premature end of file > > > > Does anybody know what I can do to get this thing installed? > > I though perhaps the file was corrupted so I re-downloaded and tried > it again and received the same error. > > > > Bob Little > > UniVerse Developer > > Market America > > 336-478-1694 > ------- > u2-users mailing list > [email protected] > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
