Gunzip

[opus06]

When I'm trying to gunzip oracle file it is giving me below error. I believe gunzip was installed by defualt in Aix box. Any one suggest me to fix this problme

gunzip: 10gr2_aix5l64_database.cpio.gz: not in gzip format

It seems that the file is broken! You need to download it again.

I've had this problem in the past and it's because the file isn't in fact a gzipped file. If you simply use cpio to extract it (exact syntax in the documentation) it might well work. A strange situation for a company the size of Oracle to allow to arise!

I want to be good, is that not enough?

If you run 'file' on it it might give yuo a clue.

Thanks it worked as per your suggestion

The cpio worked? Or another download?

When I grab a file from vendors, I always like to "file $filename" just to verify they have it compressed, like they say... I've had this happen with some files from HP before too.
