Hi,
I have downloaded the quake 3 for linux but trying to install gives me following error: ============ Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+266' for reading: No such file or directory Error in checksums: 433440451 is different from 2693581780 ========== I have tried downloading from various sources but still same error.
does this have something to do with FC5? I need some help
Thanks

Try this before installing in a terminal do
export_POSIX_VERSION=199209
then go ahead and install in the same terminal

Hmm i'm not sure then and have been reading up on google about it as well. Can't seem to find any clear cut answer here.
Hi lostson and Deepak,
There is no underscore ("_") between "export" and POSIX in "export POSIX_VERSION=199209". Understand, what you are doing here is telling the C library which version of the POSIX standard it should emulate. I hope this helps you get Quake 3 unpacked. Later,

Hi again,
My fault, you *do* want the underscore ("_"), *however* Deepak, you need a space between "export" and the first underscore. Sorry, -David Chipman

I have tried all the combinations:
export_POSIX_VERSION=199209 export _POSIX_VERSION=199209 export POSIX_VERSION=199209
after each export when I try to sh linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run it gives me ============ Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+266' for reading: No such file or directory Error in checksums: 433440451 is different from 2693581780 ============
so change in result. Any clue? By the way what is the relevance of POSIX_VERSION for some shell scripts?
Thanks

When I had a simillar problem with StarOffice I used ....
export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209

The behaviour of tail has changed from fc4 to fc5.
In fc5, you can't do
tail +3 file.dat
(note the plus).
man tail, however, says that it should work...
If you have access to an fc4 installation you can copy tail from /usr/bin and put it temporary in a directory earlier than /usr/bin in your path.

Hm, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175907
And it works:
$ export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 $ tail +3 list.txt 3 4 5 6

There you have a `tail` command-line incompatibility, that is well know w/ recent version of tail.

Edit the .run file and change the way it uses tail (possibly in several places, best would be to look for "tail +" maybe), to be `tail -n 266 filename` instead of `tail +266 filename`.

In my case tail is working without exporting the above line
I can do tail +3 <somefile.txt> or +10 <somefile.txt> goes without problem
but trying to do sh linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run halts with previous stated problem
now I did export the _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 and sh linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run went fine
by the way what is this POSIX_VERSION is all about? This is the first time I have faced this.
Thanks and good day
