Actually, let me clarify my answer. &nbsp;This is absolutely an issue with the installer, but it may be that the installer requires a command or library that you just don't have installed on your machine. &nbsp;The error could be very misleading - the error displayed is that /tmp/install/bin/gnutar isn't there (or is blocked), but the script could be failing at an earlier point and the only error you end up seeing is the symptom of a much different cause.

I'm trying to install some third party software and I'm getting an error by the installer that returns:<br />
<br />
sh: /tmp/install/bin/gnutar: No such file or directory<br />
<br />
Could anyone tell me how to resolve this issue? I'm sure it's a Linux issue and not an issue with the installer.<br />

Thanks...

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
