Hi,

I'm new to Interix, and am trying to get some tools installed. It appears to me that I need to first install pkg-current-bin35.sh. I downloaded the file (1345007 bytes). When I execute:

sh pkg-current-bin35.sh

I get:

uudecode: stdin: short file

and

gunzip: pkg-2.7.0-bin35.tar.gz: unexpected end of file

the install fails.

Does this file need to be in a specific directory prior to executing the sh command?

Do I have a complete file ?

Please let me know how to correct these issues, or if there is another way for me to get/install Interix tools such as gmake, autoconf, etc...

Thanks,
Brian

I found a another user who had the same issue. That fix worked for me as well.

Thanks,
Brian

The answer is:
The downloaded file has been truncated.
Try downloading it again and check that the downloaded file
size matches what should have been downloaded.
