Well, still no love here .. tar xvf clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
So then: file clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz reports: clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz: HTML document text I used wget to download this file. I'm thinking that it must be the way I invoked wget which was simply: wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/clamav/clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz I also tried wget -dv http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/clamav/clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz and got this output: DEBUG output created by Wget 1.8.2 on linux-gnu. --00:00:19-- http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/clamav/clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz => `clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz' Resolving prdownloads.sourceforge.net... done.

Or just run $> tar xvf clamav-0.80rc2.tar.gz and see if it explodes. My bet is it will. Browsers/webservers are notorious for uncompressing files on the fly without renaming them. dp ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
