[Bioperl-l] Problem untarring the 1.2 distribution

[Paul Boutros]

It works okay for me on Windows and Sun OS 5.7

Maybe you can try:
gunzip -t bioperl-1.2.tar.gz
to verify the chksum error, or a fresh download?

I just downloaded the 1.2 distribution using wget:

wget http://www.bioperl.org/ftp/DIST/bioperl-1.2.tar.gz

When I try to untar it I get the error below. Is there something wrong 
with the tarball, or is it just me?
