[Bioperl-l] Problem untarring the 1.2 distribution

[Tim Henderson]

I've tried to download and untar it in multiple ways: On RedHat Linux 
7.3, Mac OS X 10.2.3, and Windows 2000, using wget, Mozilla, and 
Internet Explorer for the download. I always get the same error. Below 
is an example from RedHat Linux 7.3, including the checksums I get from 
the download file.
