Re: problem solved

Thanks! It was really bugging me. I got as far as downloading the md5sum file, but was trying to compare it directly with the AOO file by listing both filenames after the md5sum -c command. Next time I'll try it your way. On Sat, Jun 27, 2015 at 4:12 PM, James Knott wrote: > On 06/27/2015 12:

RE: problem solved

It is generally the case that the .md5 file needs to be in the same directory as the downloaded file(s), and you probably need to do the md5sum call with your console session being in that directory as the current directory. Also, if there are spaces in the part you need to put the whole thing

Thanks to all who replied with suggestions last night. It turned out that my problem was related to the command md5sum -c .tar.gz.md5 which is the specific md5sum command suggested on Apache's "How to verify the download " page. I had never use

Great to see you here, Julian. I cannot claim "Senior" then. My first code was written in Fortran [I, but of course it didn't need a version number until II arrived] in May, 1958. It compiled on the IBM 704 at Boeing and failed on a divide-check. I was a 19 year-old Engineering Aide in the T

So, what was the purpose and use of "reveal codes" in WP? The reason has always been explained to me as a method to deal with character property changes when the user could not figure out where they were occurring and then remove them. In WP, I vaguely remember that it was possible to have tags
