Author [Info-ingres] gtar failed with exit code 2

Hi all,

I tried to install Ingres 2.6sp1 and 2.6sp2 on Mandriva-Linux 2006. In both
cases I get the following errors when I attempt to run install/ingbuild:

gtar failed with exit code 2

/bin/tar: .: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
/bin/tar: .: Cannot change mode to rwxrwxr-x: Operation not permitted
/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

This occurs when attempting to unpack the functions. I followed the same
steps as I have done numerous times before on Linux-Mandrake and Slackware
(the extent of my Linux experience).

I then installed Ingres 3.0.2 without any issues, so I guess it is not that
critical. However, as I would rather be running the same version as my
clients, can anybody explain these errors to a
poor-openroad-programmer-with-limited-linux-experience?

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

I had some gtar problems with Ingres 2.x in the past, too.

You may try this:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.2
chmod 777 your complete $II_SYSTEM directory

Regards
Gerhard
