- <p>The problem is caused by a limitation in the original tar spec, which
- prevented it from archiving files with long pathnames. Unfortunately,
- various current versions of tar use different extensions for eliminating
- this restriction which are incompatible with each other (or they do not
- remove the restriction at all). Rather than altering the pathnames for
- the xerces-c package, which would make them compatible with the original
- tar spec but make it more difficult to know what was where, it was
- decided to use GNU tar (gtar), which handles arbitrarily long pathnames
- and is freely available on every platform on which xerces-c is
+ <p>The Solaris tar utility you are using does not properly handle files with long pathnames.
+ You must use GNU tar (gtar), which handles arbitrarily long pathnames
+ and is freely available on every platform on which &xslt4c; is
supported. If you don't already have GNU tar installed on your system,
you can obtain it from the Free Software Foundation
