I keep getting error: unknown (or unsupported) file type 't' I have tried different mirrors, both http nad ftp. I've tried downloading first and installing from a local directory. I have tried installing often enough that I have a parital install, so I tried untarring by hand and the tarballs seem corrupted: $ tar jxvf perl-5.6.1-2.tar.bz2 usr/ usr/bin/ usr/bin/a2p.exe usr/bin/c2ph usr/bin/cpan usr/bin/dprofpp usr/bin/find2perl usr/bin/h2ph usr/bin/h2xs usr/bin/ld2 usr/bin/libperl5_6_1.dll tar: Skipping to next header bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing. Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout) It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. You can use the `bzip2recover' program to *attempt* to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. tar: 360 garbage bytes ignored at end of archive tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors tar/bzip2 gives this error at different place from one run to the next, so I'm guessing that the file is really okay. I've included cygcheck below. This is a brand new Win2k installation, behind a firewall, with no email so I doubt that I have a virus. However, I will chack that after I send this. I searched the cygwin archive and found only one other person with this problem. It turned out to be a buggy samba on their unix server. Is there anything I can do to get this to install?
