i downloaded tar-1.11.1.Z from MIT and tried to compile it.

i need to use the "tar rvf" option which is missing from the
next tar.

can someone tell me if tar-1.11.1.Z is gnutar and what kind of
gynastics i have to go through to compile it?

i've noticed on 3.0 the c include files are in /usr/include/ansi but
can't seem to get the configure program or the make program to realize
this.

joe.

	Save yourself some time gnutar 1.10 is already out there in  
/usr/bin/gnutar under NS3.0...

I built GNUtar (yes, that's tar-1.11.1.tar.Z) the other day. No
problem at all: unpack the distribution, cd tar-1.11.1, run the
included configure script, type make and that's it. This is for 3.0 -
the problems posed for some stuff by the new location of the includes
didn't turn up at all. Probably that's because I had just made and
installed gcc-2.3.1, which also compiled out of the box (only problem
I encountered was the need to change a couple of // style comments in
an include file to /* */ style to correct an "unterminated constant"
error). Whether gnutar would go through as well with the 3.0 version
of cc I don't know.
