corrupt .tar.gz

Community matplotlib-users

Hi all,

I am trying to install matplotlib1.0.1 on my machine but somehow I keep on getting a corrupt .tar.gz file.

This is the error message:

tar: Skipping to next header

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data–crc error

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data–length error

tar: Child returned status 1

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Seems to work for me. What platform are you on -- can you verify the
md5 sum of your download? Here is what I get (my md5 and sha sums
match those reported on the sf download site)
