Jetspeed installation problem- tar:checksumdirectory error

Hi all,
 I am unable to install the latset version of jetspeed on my Solaris(i86) machine.
The gz file is unzipped into tar and when I try to untar(using the  tar -xvf command),
I get a 
tar:checksum directory error
I have downloaded the src.tgz from different sources but the problem persists.
(Note: The direct installation of  the war package(viz. jetspeed.war.tgz) works fine 
but I  am not getting the email confirmation)

Please help me out,
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan

Not exactly broken, but not as good as GNU tar perhaps. If you
have gzip installed you can unpack on Solaris with this command :

# gzip -dc mypackage.tar.gz | tar xfv -

Unfortunately it is not an alternative to install GNU tar with friends 
in some Solaris production environments, due to the security concern
of having minimal OS installations.

regards,

Solaris tar is known to be broken.
Install GNU tar instead.
