Hi I am trying to untar a compressed file on a Solaris server. I run the command 

tar xvf 4.56_release.tar.gz

But this reports the following error

tar: directory checksum error

Initially I thought it was a bad download so I re-downloaded the file (actually a different version) and it reports the same error. Un-compressing and un-tar'ing it on Linux on a Linux server works fine.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong.

linux tar
