I think I've found some error warning messages like this when I tried to IC50 in Solaris with the recent version of "tar" program. Therefore, I went backward using the older version and it work!! Perhaps you may face the same situation.

Only "tar" program.

Only "tar" program.

can you give me an old tar package ?

 

[Amuro]

I think "tar"'s version of Redhat 8 is OK. Then go to this site and get the rpm.

**broken link removed**

Force to install it to another path of your default tar program (use symbolic link to point the system to use the old tar for a while), so after complete IC5 installation, you can switch back to use your new one.

uninstall previous tar!

rpm -e

1. 
   
   you may also use gtar instead of tar.

I've 2 solutions in this case. Firstly, try to use --oldpackage with "rpm" command to downgrade your "tar" program to the older version. The other is build the older "tar" from its source (tar-1.13.25-8.src.rpm) and place it in somewhere e.g. /tmp and uses symbolic link for your temporary calling older "tar".

Oh, Sorry! It seem I'm too late to post the above comment.

So if your problem is still exist, I have no idea how to solve. It probably be there are some other libraries not match to IC50. I've heard some e.g. glibc. The other experts may can give you another advice. Furthermore downgrading your RH release may be a good choice.
