I can't install on my RedHat 9, what is wrong ?

This is what I get:

sh boinc_5.2.8_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
incomplete literal tree

gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Red hat 9 is starting to be a little old. The latest open version is Fedora core 4. The farther away from current distribution the more likely an error might occur. First thing is to download again. I haven't looked to see if they have impemented MD5 checking. If the MD5 number is there check it to see if your download came correctly.

Thanks for the reply
It turned out that when I downloaded on a Win2000 and then moved the program to Linux didn't work. Downloading directly to the linux-box worked fine.
