<< < (2/5) > >>

I am confirming a problem with bzip2 which does NOT open on all platforms.  7-zip on Windows opened the archive successfully. 

Here is from Fedora Core 5:

[testing-C2]# ls
KWSN-R2.2B--SSE3-C2.tar.bz2
[testing-C2]# tar xvfj KWSN-R2.2B--SSE3-C2.tar.bz2
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[testing-C2]# tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1
[testing-C2]# bzip2 --version
bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor.  Version 1.0.3, 15-Feb-2005.

Sorry to hear it's not just me. :(

Ubunto 6.10 here as well.

I re-downloaded just to make sure it was'n't a bad download - same results.

Roy:
Based on the comment by michael37, I tried DLing and unzipping the Linux app on my Windows platform. 

Put the files in a shared folder, and went to my Linux box and copied the files into BOINC/projects/setiathome

Seems to be working fine!

One thing threw me for a  second - all the apps before this had "seti" somewhere in their name - this time, doing a
ps -ef | grep seti
showed nothing!  But I figured it out...

It would certainly appear that there may be some sort of incompatibility between 7zip on windows and bzip2 on Linux.

Thanks again, everyone!

I have had success extracting the files on OSX, then copying to my linux host.
So thus far it would seem the only platform unable to open the linux app archives is .... linux.  ;D

You got it.  The applications are now called KWSN-R2.2B-SSEXX-XX

For the time being, use 7-zip to open the archives. bzip2 on most distributions will not work
