Subject: Error building installing on Redhat Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:36:05 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d557014b1003191436r4d141825p6c5b8e1b3bee4fc8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I downloaded the latest tarball (git-1.7.0.2), configured it, and
make'ed it. When I did a "make install", the build seemed to work and
most of the install, but I got an error when the installation tried to
use gtar:
make -C templates DESTDIR='' install
make[1]: Entering directory `/users/e477610/exptool/src/git-1.7.0.2/templates'
install -d -m 755 '/home/e477610/exptool/share/git-core/templates'
(cd blt && gtar cf - .) | \
(cd '/home/e477610/exptool/share/git-core/templates' && umask
022 && gtar xof -)
gtar: This does not look like a tar archive
gtar: Skipping to next header
gtar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/users/e477610/exptool/src/git-1.7.0.2/templates'
make: *** [install] Error 2
When I try to run "git clone
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git", I get the following error:
$ git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /users/e477610/exptool/src/git/.git/
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'http'
I assume it's because I didn't finish the install properly. Any ideas
why the install of the build failed and what I could do to make it
complete?
Michael
