Unfortunately we now have a problem with tar that I am having trouble isolating whether the cause is the bash recompile or the tar recompile. Anyway, it can't find the gzip binary unless it's in the current directory you are in. Passing PATH for instance doesn't help. root@washi:/root>tar ztvf st157n.tar.gz tar (child): Cannot exec gzip: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors root@washi:/root>PATH="/bin" tar ztvf st157n.tar.gz tar (child): Cannot exec gzip: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors root@washi:/root>cp /bin/gzip ./ root@washi:/root>tar ztvf st157n.tar.gz drwxrwx--- root/root 0 2003-01-07 22:53 st157n/ drwxrwx--- root/root 0 2003-01-07 22:53 st157n/accs/ -rw-rw---- root/root 5886 1995-05-21 14:19 st157n/accs/clock.ac I don't know if something in exec() changed in mintlib or WHAT but I'm having trouble with this. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark http://portal.atari-source.com
