tar: directory checksum error
Really? I think not Mr buggy Solaris tar. So I'm off to grab GNU tar, ho hum :-)
When using Solaris...

The first thing I do after a fresh install on Solaris:
- install gcc (if not already)
- mv cc cc.orig; ln -s gcc cc
- install gtar
- mv tar tar.orig; ln -s gtar tar
- install latest perl (not the package)
Next, install Solaris patches. Then, I go to sunfreeware and install the following packages:
- binutils (watch your PATH)
- openssl
- openssh (and its dependencies)
- top
- latest vim
Then, I go back and install 100 or so of my favorite Perl modules, but that's another story. :)
