Hi,
I have downloaded the sourcenavigator-NG 4.3.tar.bz2 and when i tried to install it on my solaris “S10 U 8” OS.
i gave the following command:
tar -jxvf sourcenavigator-NG 4.3.tar.bz2

getting the following errors:
tar: j: unknown function modifier
usage: tar {c|r|t|u|x}[BDeEFhilmnoPqTvw@[0-7]][bfk][x…] [blocksize] [tarfile]
