checksum error on tar Unix Source

Hello,

I have a SCO Open Server Release 5 Server. This runs most Linux code fine for my use.

I have download the ImageMagick.tar.gz, from ftp.imagemagick.org. By clicking on the file link and having it saved to my desktop on Windows XP.

I used ftp to transfer this program from Windows XP to my SCO server. When I use the
gunzip -c ImageMagick.tar.gz | tar xvf -

I get checksum errors.

I get a directory ImageMagick-6.5.0-1 directory
with 2 files
Install-windows.text
NEWS.txt

I have tried to ftp with and without binary.
I have tried to gunzip with super user permissions.
I have looked all over this board and google for others with this issuse to no avail.

I have tried to download just the ImageMagick-6.5.0-1.tar.gz and it didn't work either.

Any suggestions on what I am missing?
Thanks

Can you try the download again? Verify the final distribution size should be 11110181 bytes. Now try unpacking again and see if it works.

Thank You,

I re-did the downloand and checked the file size. It matched yours this time. Mine was different before.

I re-did the ftp and the gunzip without errors.

I believe I can proceed from here.

Thanks Again. :D
