Problem unzipping installation file

[wilisbr]

The problem occurs on both versions (Windows and Linux). Here is the output of the Linux tar:

[root@sbcdf567 ~]# tar -zxf hyperic-hq-agent-2.7.7-165-x86-linux.tgz

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


[root@sbcdf567 ~]# unzip hyperic-hq-agent-2.7.7-165-x86-linux.tgz
Archive: hyperic-hq-agent-2.7.7-165-x86-linux.tgz
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of hyperic-hq-agent-2.7.7-165-x86-linux.tgz or
hyperic-hq-agent-2.7.7-165-x86-linux.tgz.zip, and cannot find hyperic-hq-agent-2.7.7-165-x86-linux.tgz.ZIP, period.

This looks like a file integrity problem with your download. The MD5 checksums for the 2.7.7-165 Open Source bundles are as follows:

The integrity of our uploaded files is checked after each release is published. You can check your downloaded files against these checksums using the tool md5sum. This is readily available on most Linux distributions by default, and easily found if it is not. A web search for the tool will also produce an executable for Windows as well. To use it, open a terminal window, and type:

md5sum <name_of_file>

It will then present a hash that should match the hash next to the filename above. If it does not, you need to download the file again.

Example:

[cwitt@bronco 2.7.7_sf]$ md5sum hyperic-hq-agent-2.7.7-165-x86-linux.tgz
ea8cb0edbbf2f32b586be54aa44b4e51 hyperic-hq-agent-2.7.7-165-x86-linux.tgz

Problems with files that otherwise appear to download properly are often a result of a wrong FTP mode setting used when distributing them to other machines. The transfer mode for a gzipped tar archive should be set to binary if the FTP client being used does not automatically detect, and correctly set the transfer mode.

BTW - unzip will not expand a gzipped tar archive. Your use of `tar -zxf` was correct for files of this type.
