Hi,

I am getting the error when i am doing untar the ".tar.gz" file. The error is shown below like:

-------------------------------------------

expat-1.95.8/COPYING
expat-1.95.8/Changes
expat-1.95.8/MANIFEST
expat-1.95.8/Makefile.in
expat-1.95.8/README
expat-1.95.8/configure
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
----------------------------------------------------

Why crc-error and data-length error are comming .what is the reason for this? How i solve this? Plz give solution to solve this problem ?

Thanks & Regard,
Rams
