UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

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

I'm assuming that you are superuser.... Are you sure you've got the correct installation package ? Does md5 check match ?
