Issue installing NSCA

Post by PCrossan »

Hi,

I am having some issues installing the NCSA client on Ubuntu (Sorry I am a Linux Novice)

I have downloaded the Tar file but when I attempt to extract the file I receive an error regarding the file not being gzip format please see below actions I am performing

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/files/n ... 7.2.tar.gz

tar xzf nsca-2.7.2.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

thanks for your help
