Re: [Xen-users] prebuilt tar ball installation problems

[Luke Crawford <lsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hah.  I've run into #1.  do a google for "tar symlink"  there are many 
versions of tar running around; some follow symlinks by default, others 
clobber symlinks by default.  If I recall correctly, RHEL3 does one thing, 
RHEL4 does another.  It's a pain in the ass.  really, you have to figure 
out what verson of tar you are using and then use the 'follow symlinks' 
option to get it to work as expected.
