It seems your tar files has broken. Can you describe which the step of showing these messages during installation ?

I have meeted this thing. The reason maybe the version of winrar is too high.

sometime you can not untar a .tar file under the windows OS, Such as using winrar etc. Do it under LINUX OS will be OK.

I had that problem too.. I tried untaring it on a sun box and a linux box with the same problem.. the only way i solved it was to redownload the tar ball..

What is the exact extension of the file and where are you trying to extract it using which tool. I mean are you untarring using rar under windows/linux or you are extracting using tar command under linux?
