Hi Folks,

I have a completely fresh install of 3.3-RELEASE.  The only modification I
have made is to recompile the generic kernel to include support for the ida
device (Compaq 3200 Smart Array controller).

When I try to compile any of the ports, they all bomb out with the following
error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Receiving mysql-3.22.25.tar.gz (3918463 bytes): 100%
3918463 bytes transferred in 228.2 seconds  (16.77 Kbytes/s)
===>  Extracting for mysql-server-3.22.25
>> Checksum OK for mysql-3.22.25.tar.gz.
===>   mysql-server-3.22.25 depends on executable: libtool - found
/usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next file header...

gzip: /usr/ports/distfiles//mysql-3.22.25.tar.gz: invalid compressed
data--format violated
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have re-installed completely in case something silly had gone wrong first
time round and I hadn't noticed, and I get exactly the same results - with
any of the ports I try to compile.

I can gzip and gunzip other files fine - it's just the ones that are fetched
while making ports.

Any ideas?



Si.
