When installing Tomcat I get this error on Solaris 10:
<geshi lang="bash"> $ gunzip apache-tomcat-6.0.14.tar.gz && tar xf apache-tomcat-6.0.14.tar && mv apache-tomcat-6.0.14 tomcat && /bin/rm apache-tomcat-6.0.14.tar tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file ... </geshi>
The solution is to install and use GNU's tar.
Note - when compiling tar on Solaris 5.8, I find I have to add -DCHAR_BIT=8 to my CFLAGS variable.
