 Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2005 5:41 pm Post subject: problems with tar and ark [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Seems that tar is no longer accepting the standard syntax with a leading dash. If I use | Code: | | tar -xzvf file1 file2 |
I get | Code: | | tar: Bad Option: -xzvf |
If I drop the leading dash from the arguments | Code: | | tar xzvf file1 file2 |
everything works fine.
I'm also having trouble extracting some bundles with ark and wonder that it may be using the dash syntax when calling tar (that is assuming it does call tar).
I was at app-arch/tar-1.15.1 and downgrading to app-arch/tar-1.14 did not solve the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Chris

Ha! Seems that when I installed "star" it created a /usr/bin/tar symlink to /usr/bin/star so that everytime I thought I was running "tar" I was really running "star" as /usr/bin is in my path before /bin which is where "tar" (the real one) actually resides.
