Hi, Kirill,
I, too, have found some packages that tell people to use GNU tar instead Solaris's tar. So I'll keep running GNU tar.
Something strange happened when I tried to build the current version of Ciao. Ld complained that in some program or other, "setenv" was an undefined symbol. Maybe I made a mistake when I tried to build Ciao. But I don't know why ld would try to link a program to a csh command.
What went wrong?
Cheers, Bill
Hello, Kirill,
Thanks for your letter. It's a good idea to discourage the use of Solaris's tar command. But this is the first time I've had trouble
with
it. Maybe Solaris 9's tar works properly on the Ciao tarball?
Bill
Hello Bill,
AFAIK, there is a problem with Solaris' tar. I've seen a couple of
other
packages explicitly stating that their tarballs should be unarchived using GNU tar, and not the Solaris' one.
To Almighty Maintainers: would it worth to explicitly discourage the
use
of Solaris' tar?
Cheers, Kirill

Hi, Everybody,
My name is "Bill." I thought you might want to hear about a
problem I
had tonight when I tried to untar the Ciao Prolog tarball on my Sunblade 100 Workstation. Solaris 8's tar command will complain
about
a directory checksum error if you try to untar Ciao Prolog's
tarball
with it. But GNU tar will untar that tarball without complainng. Just thought the information would help if you'll install Ciao on
a
Solaris 8 box.
