Installation Question

When I run the sh file to unpack the client code I get this message:

[spurdy]$ ./boinc_5.2.6_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Any suggestions?

Re: Installation Question

Run the following command first


chmod 400 boinc_5.2.6_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh


this make the file executable, then run it with ./

Re: Installation Question

I did do that first. Here is the entire copy:

[spurdy wcg]$ chmod 700 boinc_5.2.6_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
[spurdy wcg]$ ./boinc_5.2.6_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
