Re: problems unzipping NCL file

Hi Andria,

To test this out, I downloaded these two files.

Before gunzipping them, I did an "ls -l":

% ls -l *.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 haley CIT\Domain Users 75194686 Feb 26 09:23 ncl_ncarg-6.1.2.Linux_Debian6.0_i686_nodap_gcc445.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 haley CIT\Domain Users 77612720 Feb 26 09:23 ncl_ncarg-6.1.2.Linux_Debian6.0_x86_64_nodap_gcc445.tar.gz
%

Are your two files the same size?

I then used "tar -zxf" to gunzip and extract the files at the same time:

% tar -zxf ncl_ncarg-6.1.2.Linux_Debian6.0_x86_64_nodap_gcc445.tar.gz
% tar -zxf ncl_ncarg-6.1.2.Linux_Debian6.0_i686_nodap_gcc445.tar.gz
%

As you can see, I didn't get any errors, which usually means the files extracted without problems.

What command were you using?
