<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">I’ll have to make some guesses here, but first I need to say, you have to give us more to work on. I’ve been in support for a long time, and “it doesn’t work” doesn’t mean anything. What doesn’t work? This is
like calling the help desk and saying “The internet is down!”. I’ve had that, usually pressing the cap locks key on the users keyboard fixes the issue.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Give us something to work with:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Does the command just hang and you have to kill it? It’s pretty big, maybe you don’t wait long enough.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Did you try tar –xvf xymon-4.3.10.tar.gz? This will give you output so you can see the progress of the files unpacking.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Does it end in an error? What’s the error?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Are you trying to untar it into a directory you don’t have write access to? Perhaps an nfs share that to which root can’t write?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Is it possible to untar it in two steps. Gunzip xymon-4.3.10.tar and then tar –xvf xymon-4.3.10.tar?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Why are you trying to build such an old version of xymon? How about getting the latest, or just 1 or 2 revisions back?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Ultimately my best guess is you have a corrupt tar file or you have write issues on your local media.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
