Obvious error? It's not a tar file. It's a gzipped tar file. The simplest way to unpack is to:
gzip -dc openssl-0.9.7c.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Alternatively;
gunzip openssl-0.9.7c.tar.gz tar xvf openssl-0.9.7c.tar
Rgds,

Subject: un-tar'ing not working for me
I downloaded.... 2791797 Sep 30 14:50:15 2003 openssl-0.9.7c.tar.gz [LATEST] ... but when I use tar to list the files by entering .... tar --list --file=openssl-0.9.7c.tar.gz.tar
I get an error message that states.....
tar: This does not look like tar archive tar: Skipping to the next header tar: Archive contains obsoletescent base-64 headers tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
I'm running SUSE 8.1 on this particular machine. Of course I do not
user tar for backup so I do not have a recent history of using it.
What obvious error I'm I making using tar?
