kjskh, I've met this problem.
I've solved it with these fiew steps:

1. Log in under root
2. Rename /bin/tar to /bin/tar2
3. Create script /bin/tar with code as listed below:

=============== begin of the file =====================
#!/bin/bash
i=""
while [ $# -gt 1 ]; do
if [ "$1" != "-b1" ]; then
i="$i $1"
fi
shift
done
if [ "$1" != "-b1" ]; then
i="$i $1"
fi

/bin/tar2 $i
=============== end of the file =====================

4. Run "chmod +x /bin/tar"

Restart installation script

Hope this will help.

It is a good idea to have only one Installation of InstallScape

please help us find it.

Do you want to install InstallScape for lnx86[y/n]:y

It is recommended that you install InstallScape
outside the Cadence installation hierarchy
and include the ~iscape/bin in your PATH environment variable.


Type the path to InstallScape installation directory [ (q to quit)]: /cad/is
