Re: LessTif 0.89.9 tar.gz file


I just untarred the lesstif0.89.9 tar-ball which I redistbute via
lesstif Organization.  It untars without problems.

tar -zxvfp lesstif-0.89.9-cygwin-v1.1.tar.gz

From where did you get lesstif0.89.9.tar.gz.  There is no such file
on our LessTif Ftp server?

Anyhow looking at the first few lines of your error messages, it is rather
a read/write permission problem on your Windows machine.  Are you
on Windows NT, if so are you logged in as admin? Try loging in as a user
and extract under user account.

I just downloaded the LessTif 0.89.9 and tryed untarring it and got the
following errors

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Based off how the tar file is layed out I untarred it from /

if that is the case how can it link to ../Lesstif from the root directory?

using tar xfvz

did I use the wrong tar command?
