cannot extract tome-235-src.tar.bz2 files

[dfTruF]

Hi,


I try to extract sources: tome-235-src.tar.bz2 under windows xp, (with: 7-z, peazip, bzip2) and programs complain (for example 7-z: "can not open output file ...").
The same situation is for other sources 2.x.x

tome-300alpha19-src.tar.bz2 extracts without any problems.

Why?

maybe the download got corrupted, I would try re-downloading it and seeing what happens ( I will try it myself too)

[edit: it worked fine for me, my guess is that yours did get corrupted somehow]

I redownloaded it and still doesn't work.

What program (for extracting tome-235-src.tar.bz2) do you use?

I extract tome-235-src.tar.bz2 to tome-235-src.tar, then I extract tome-235-src.tar , output file is named - 'tome-235-src' then I try to extract this file and program complains ("can not open output file ...").

I tried tar for windows too (tar.exe -x tome-235-src.tar), and tar says: "cannot open file: Bad file descriptor"

I've never had such problems in the past.

ah, thats your problem...

the tome-235-src is a folder containing the src files, it doesnt need to be extracted in any way.

(I use 7zip)

I am not sure why tar would not be able to open tar files :/ *that* seems strange.

tome-235-src should be a folder containing the src files, instead of that it is simply a file.
So I've changed tome-235-src file to some other name and then 7-z extracted it to folder named "tome-235-src". Solved.
