"extraction failed" error when installing ET in re


(=TAC=Chron) #1

i keep getting an extraction failed error when i attempt to install ET on a new linux server i am setting up. i already have another linux machine that is running ET fine, instlled fine.

i have downloaded the et-linux-2.55.x86.run several times from different places, burnt them to disk, ftp’ed them, downloaded directly on the linux box and keep getting the error.

Am I missing something here?

tried it on redhat 7.1, 7.3, 8.0. i am baffled.

the first time i set it up on linux, it installed fine, that is the “other” linux machine i mentioned above.

The installer does not work properly in text mode under Redhat 9 (more specifically under glibc 2.3). See http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/et/ for a workaround.

HTH.
