busted tape archive (i.e. tar error)

[mmulqueen]

I’ve just downloaded the full Rosetta 3.3 bundle (twice, to be sure), but it’s not a valid tar file.

>> tar tf rosetta3.3_bundles.tgz
rosetta3.3/
rosetta3.3/Antibody-3.3.tgz
rosetta3.3/rosetta3.3_fragments.tgz
rosetta3.3/new_apps.note
rosetta3.3/protocol_capture-3.3.tgz
rosetta3.3/rosetta3.3_database.tgz
rosetta3.3/foldit-3.3.tgz
rosetta3.3/release.note
rosetta3.3/rosetta3.3_demos.tgz
rosetta3.3/BioTools-3.3.tgz
rosetta3.3/README.Copyrights
rosetta3.3/rosetta3.3_source.tgz
rosetta3.3/README.version
rosetta3.3/rosetta3.3_manual.tgz

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data–crc error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Same error when I unpack with tar xfz. Solutions??

Thanks.

I’m waiting for it to download to verify myself; in the meantime have you tried getting just the code and database tarballs and seeing if they work?

I can confirm that tar spits an error, but not that the error appears to mean anything – what does untar looks correct to me. The individual tarballs appear to work as well. I’ve let the webmaster know to take a look.

The tar archive is most definitely bust. The Rosetta database is not just incomplete, it’s rudimentary:

admin@csb1 in rosetta3.3: du -hs rosetta_database_separate/ rosetta_database_bundle/
379M rosetta_database_separate/
108M rosetta_database_incomplete/

Could the developers please have a look at this and tell me which other packages I have to download separately to complete the installation? And fix rosetta3.3_bundles.tgz as well?

Thanks.

Eran has updated the tarball – let us know if it works or not for you.

I guess I should not have got discouraged so easily. The tar file might unpack properly, despite the errors. The containing tgz files also seem to unpack, also with errors.

Compilation segfaults on RHEL 6.1. I’m submitting a report…

379 sounds about right. The developer database is currently 768 MB. SVN doubles the file footprint of all files, so that would be 384.

I’ve brought this to the attention of the guy who administers this, but I suspect he’s currently traveling: RosettaCON is the latter half of this week.

Other packages: if you’re on Ubuntu, some other user has helpfully compiled a list:

“make sure all build dependencies are available
sudo apt-get install debhelper scons zlib1g-dev quilt build-essential”

I know that scons is not actually needed (we supply an embedded scons). I don’t use quilt or debhelper so I assume it’s not essential (I think they matter for the other stuff in that thread). build-essential supplies the compiler, and zlib1g-dev is necessary. I assume you can figure out the RHEL packages from that information?
