I've had a report that boost_1_31_0.tar.gz gets a checksum error halfway through unzipping.
Has anyone else had a problem? Or used the file successfully?
It works for me, but there are some warnings when unpacking on a non-Linux machine: % gunzip -c boost_1_31_0.tar.gz | tar xf - tar: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype tar: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype tar: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype tar: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype tar: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype tar: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype tar: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype tar: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype tar: ././@LongLink : Unknown filetype This is a familiar problem for us. It only happens when the tar file was created under Linux. Our workaround is to make tar files for multi-platform distributions on a non-Linux machine. Beman, I'd be happy to help making the tar file for the next release (the executable flags should also be corrected as mentioned before by someone else).
