I was trying to unpackage the BRL CAD http://sourceforge.net/projects/brlcad/
program when this error occurred during "tar -zxvf brlcad-7.0_ia32.tgz"
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Is the file corrupt? I've tried from several different "mirrors." I've
posted on their IRC (irc.freenode.net IRC channel #brlcad). I'm not sure if
this is a response or not:
<mario>I downloaded the tgz from several US sources via Sourceforge.net. Gzip
choked, saying something about a premature EOF. Anybody had problems lately?
<mario> Here's the quote, "gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file"
<mario> Of course tar has issues thereafter as well, but I think the
decompression is the main problem.
--> noyb (~noyb@wbar2.lax1-4-8-213-215.dsl-verizon.net) has joined #brlcad
<-- noyb has quit ("leaving")
<CIA-5> BRL-CAD: brlcad * brlcad/ (7 files in 4 dirs): newline at end of file
<CIA-5> BRL-CAD: brlcad * brlcad/src/ (20 files in 6 dirs): copyright update

<jano> i remember having had that problem years ago
<jano> i forget how to fix it though
<mario> Do you think it's a gzip problem or is it my error? I always use tar
-zxvf <filename> I even used gzip -d <filename> I remember there used to be
a password for the old licensing.
