Error on linux bin 1.1 installation

[jai-interest-2]

Hi folks,

I am trying to install the jai on linux, but this checksum error is getting me nuts. I am using the command  wget http://download.java.net/media/jai-imageio/builds/release/1.1/jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-i586-jre.bin
to download the file and then executing it. But after accepting the terms I get the following message every time

Unpacking...
tail: cannot open `+215' for reading: No such file or directory
Checksumming...
1
The download file appears to be corrupted.  Please refer
to the Troubleshooting section of the Installation
Instructions on the download page for more information.
Please do not attempt to install this archive file.

Does anyone have a clue what is wrong? Any help welcome... thanks Greg

Thanks for the reference.

I found a work around. Edit the *.bin with vi (or any other editor) end change the offending tail line adding the -n flag tail -n +125 [...] and comment the following section regarding the checksumming

Slight typo here. It's "-n 215".

I amended the tail line to tail -n +215 $0 > $outname
and commented out the checksumming test.
It ran but then gave a sting of messages like
file #0:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  42514
  (attempting to re-compensate)
file #0:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  42514
file #1:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  1166
  (attempting to re-compensate)
file #1:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  1166
file #2:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  44486

Anybody have a different experience?

Did 3 things differently, one (?) of which enabled it to work:
.  edited with nano -w -L -N
.  saved it under the same name, rather than change the name.
.  commented out fewer lines

I had the same problem with a different bin file on Ubuntu 8.04.1.
j2sdk1.4.2_04

Two changes did the trick.

"tail +466 $0 > $outname" <- changed to this -> "tail -n +466 $0 > $outname"

and

"if expr $sum1 != 06699 || expr $sum2 != 34967  ; then" <- changed to this -> if "expr $sum1 = 06699 || expr $sum2 != 34967  ; then"

It worked!
Hope it helps someone.
