Hi there, I tried to make the latest tar on my shared system (hosted on Hostmonster, CentOS 6.7), but some tests (make check) failed, see attached. The reason I was trying to upgrade was because I had problems installing Lilypond, which makes use of tar, and my old version (1.23) had problems with extracting symlinks. More details in this thread <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.general/113200> of the comp.gnu.lilypond.general <http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.general> newsgroup. I welcome any info or questions you may have.
Thanks, Giulio
