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? |

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 ./ |

That should be chmod 700 boinc_5.2.6_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh |

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 |
