Hello people, me again ...

Just an FYI this time, I think:

0[209]1 sunray1:/contrib > gtar zxf R-1.4.1.tgz
tar: R-1.4.1/date-stamp: Could not create file: Permission denied
gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
2[210]1 sunray1:/contrib > gtar zxvf R-1.4.1.tgz "R-1.4.1/date-stamp"
R-1.4.1/date-stamp
gtar: R-1.4.1/date-stamp: Could not create file: Permission denied
gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


Is there some problem with     R-1.4.1/date-stamp    ?

Can't imagine it is a deal-breaker, but ...

Tim

It is read-only.  What version of `gtar' is this, and have you
already extracted in R-1.4.1 (yes in the case of your second attempt)?

I suspect an older version of GNU tar is in use.  I can't imagine this is a
common problem, or we would have met it before now.
