Initial public release - Rev-2.2B Linux science apps

<< < (3/5) > >>

Simon:
Hm,

interesting. I used "tar cfj archive.tar.bz2 directory/" as command to compress the files; so far, I haven't had any trouble unpacking on my test hosts (Suse 9.2, Debian Sarge, Slackware 10.1).

This is the very first time I've heard of bzip2 Archives not opening; I could always make .tar.gz's if that'll help anything.

Also, yes, the apps are now called KWSN-R2.2B-* where * is MMX/SSE/SSE2-generic/SSE2-P4/SSE2-PM/SSE3-P4/SSE3-C2, as with the Windows versions.

Regards,
Simon.

Just downloaded KWSN-R2.2B--SSE2-generic.tar.bz2 and surely enough tar on my Debian Etch AMD64 barfed:


--- Quote ---tar jxvf KWSN-R2.2B--SSE2-generic.tar.bz2
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
--- End quote ---

However, this gave some clue:


--- Quote ---file KWSN-R2.2B--SSE2-generic.tar.bz2
KWSN-R2.2B--SSE2-generic.tar.bz2: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Tue Mar 27 00:33:43 2007
--- End quote ---

Surely enough:

So, these are not Bzip2 compressed, but rather gzip compressed archives.

Metod, S56RKO:
An item to add on a wish list: could you provide statically-linked binaries?

I have an old machine here which doesn't like new binaries:

If you have some time ...

I can confirm this. As many others here, I had problems opening the files (tried SSE and MMX), but when I renamed them to a .gz suffix instead of .bz2 they opened like a charm in the package manager.

Simon:
Hm,

maybe a typo? I do believe I did type "tar cfj", not "tar cfz"; still, to err is human. I'll recompress and upload archives that are what their suffix suggests ;)

Regards,
Simon.
