The default of gtar for Solaris dates back to 2005. There may have been a reason then that is no longer valid now, or there may be something besides "make install" which uses a more advanced feature. > /bin/sh: gtar: /bin/shnot found > : gtar: not found > gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 1 > gmake: *** [install] Error 2 > > [...] > > Also, what is shnot ?
