gnu tar on Solaris 8

Here is how I got where I am:

I tried untarring tomcat and at the end of the untar I get the following:

tar: directory checksum error
So I downloaded GNU tar and did a pkgadd -d, which installed the package.

But when I run /usr/local/bin/tar, I get this message:

Quote:
/usr/local/bin/tar xvf tomcat-4.1.27.tar
ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/tar: fatal: libiconv.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

I posted too soon. I needed to install the package libiconv-1.8-sol8-sparc-local.

GNU tar now works.
