Re: Version 2.2.* EMC

Hi Ian,
Back on 1 March I downloaded the 29Feb2000 EMC source (2.2.13), and
built it (under RH6.0 and 2.2.13 rtl2.0 patched kernel) without any
significant difficulty. The demo runs fine, although that's as much as
I've had time to do with it. Where do you get the "unexpected end of
file"? Do a "gzip -d" on the .tgz file you downloaded; if you get the
unexpected EOF there, then I think you have a bad download.
If that works ok, then you are pretty close to being guaranteed that you
have a "good" download, and you can go ahead and "tar xvf" the
decompressed tarball. You "SHOULDN'T" get an unexpected EOF in that
step. Any EOF problems from there on out is something else. If the EOF
is occurring during the "./install" script, it would be worthwhile, if
you aren't already doing this, to make a log of all install messages
from STDOUT and STDERR. The easiest way is "./install &>logfile", where
logfile is the name of the log file. At least that way you have the log
to help determine where it bombs. Good luck.
