tar -xf tar: fatal: libintl.so.8 error
Hi Experts,
When I try to use the tar -xf pcns223sol.tar, I receive the following:
tar pcns223sol.tar
ld.so.1: tar: fatal: libintl.so.8: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
I just ran this same file on another test server without issue.
Any ideas on what might be causing this tar error to occur?
Thanks,
byd2k

That is odd. Do "which tar", the normal tar on Solaris doesn't link with libintl.so.8. Are you using gnu tar or something else by mistake?

I or the contractor probably installed GNU at one point in time hoping it would correct a similar issue a long time ago. Is there a way to not use GNU tar and use the default version?
Thanks again,

Great that worked!
The application looks like it actually wants to use Tar to extract additional data.
How do you uninstall or adjust the existing path /usr/local/bin/tar to /usr/bin/tar permanently?

Thank you for your help.
I decided to create another user account in which the default tar version is stored under /usr/bin/tar. I then used sudo for admin rights versus running root to install an updated APC network shutdown application.

I ended up creating a new user. I used that user's default profile which used /usr/local/bin/tar file. I proceeded to install the APC application which in turn used the default tar program to install Java.
I'm going to leave the path alone abased on blu's last post.
