Problems with GNU tar installation
Hi all,
Need some help here. I've been trying to install GNU tar version 1.12 into my Solaris 9 machine.
steps that I have done was:
-untar the package file
-run "./configure"
-run "make" command (got stuck at this point)
Got the following error messages after hitting the make command:
make all-recursive
Making all in doc
Making all in lib
Making all in intl
Making all in src
Making all in scripts
Making all in po
/usr/bin/msgfmt -o ko.mo ko.po
ERROR: Line 1424 (ko.po): Invalid character found.
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `ko.mo'
Current working directory /gnutar/tar-1.12/po
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'
Current working directory /gnutar/tar-1.12
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive-am'
Hope someone would advise me the go abouts. Really appreciate it.
Regards
