Ummm, is it just something wierd in my download process or is the
tar.gz download file missing some directories? I have twice downloaded
this file - once onto a Windows box then FTP'ed to a Unix box and once
directly onto a Unix box, and each time after gunzipping and
extracting I get a directory checksum error, and then when I ls the
directory I find there is no java/ sub-directory at all! I've just now
downloaded the .zip version and this one seems complete. Has anyone
else had problems getting a complete tar.gz distribution?

What version of UNIX tar are you using? I'm guessing that our tarball was created using GNUtar on Mac OS X, and you're untarring it with the tar/gzip that come standard with Solaris, because I was able to recreate it like:


/usr/bin/gzip -d xml-xindice-1.0rc1.tar.gz
/usr/bin/tar xvf xml-xindice-1.0rc1.tar
My decompression broke at docs/api/org/apache/xindice/client/corba/db/class-use


I didn't run into this problem doing:

/usr/local/bin/tar xzvf xml-xindice-1.0rc1.tar.gz

Where the version of tar in /usr/local is the GNU version available from sunfreeware.com
