Hi, I downloaded all the OpenF
Hi, I downloaded all the OpenFOAM 1.2 files as instructed. When I issue the command:
tar -xvf OpenFOAM-1.2.General.gtgz i get the following error, tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: Read 6559 bytes from OpenFOAM-1.2.General.gtgz tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors This happens with all the files. I'd appreciate any suggestions? Many Thanks |
The correct command is:
tar
The correct command is:
tar -xzf OpenFOAM-1.2.General.gtgz or tar -xvzf OpenFOAM-1.2.General.gtgz for verbose output The important flag is "z", which means that the tar archive is gzip-compressed. |
I forgot to mention I am using
I forgot to mention I am using Linux, I think its Redhat 9+?

Since this is a tar-gzip file you have to filter the archive through gzip. So please use: tar -zxvf .... have fun |
