Error description
If you start the non-root installation of Informix Server 12.10.xC1 on HP-UX operating system by calling the './ids_install' script as a non-root user, the installation will fail during unpacking of the bundled JRE package with "tar: ././@LongLink - cannot create" errors $ id uid=90464(user1) gid=1120(ts) $ echo $INFORMIXDIR /work1/1210_priv $ pwd /work1/tmp $ ./ids_install Preparing to install... Extracting the JRE from the installer archive... Unpacking the JRE... tar: ././@LongLink - cannot create tar: ././@LongLink - cannot create tar: ././@LongLink - cannot create ... tar: ././@LongLink - cannot create The included VM could not be unarchived (TAR). Please try to download the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary' mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy. $ The reason is that the HP-UX version of the 'tar' utility uses a different internal format for handling long filenames (>100 characters) than the GNU version of 'tar' used for creating the bundled JRE package.
Local fix
Download and install the GNU tar for HP-UX and modify your $PATH env. variable in a way the GNU tar will be found first. For example, if you install the GNU tar to /usr/local/bin, modify your $PATH to: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH before starting the installation
