Bug problem with tar command in solaris9 on sun U10
I try to install globus toolkit 4 and have major problem

that's error in tar command while it install by make command

Code:
tar -C /usr/local/globus/ -xzf binary-trees/globus_libtool-*/*.tar.gz
tar: C: unknown function modifier

and it notice me to use tar {c|r|t|u|x}

I think it can't use -z command


and another problem ,I can't use cc command but can use gcc command

how I slove this problem.

Thankyou in advance Smilie

move the -C to the end of the command and u'll see no error ^^
Code:
tar -xzf binary-trees/globus_libtool-*/*.tar.gz -C /usr/local/globus/

System V tar doesn't support the -z option which is Gnu-tar specific. Either use Gnu tar if installed or split the command like this:
Code:
gunzip < binary-trees/globus_libtool-*/*.tar.gz | tar xf - -C /usr/local/globus/

tar problem was sloved by download GNUtar and replace System V tar with GNUtar.
