Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+6' for reading: No such file or directory
Error in check sums 473620323 1162253492


anyone else getting a corrupted installer?
I've downloaded it twice and get the same thing

sorry somewhat answered my question myself..
I am able to run the installer from a remote bsd box
which of course does me no good but does tell me the file is fine and its my system thats is funky.
Im running a very up to date gentoo install with kernel 2.6.
Anyone have this same config?

All I can suggest is "chmod 777 ~/.vendetta/*"

i think your tail binary is ancient, it's treating +6 as a file, when it's supposed to just cut off the first 6 lines (ie the shell script header), and start unpacking the packed data itself

Nah, he's running kernel 2.6. To be doing that, he must have run "patch" SOMEWHERE, and such a nasty tail problem would have presented itself.

Psst.. roguelazer. patch is a standalone program; it doesn't depend on tail, diff, or anything.

The tail thing is very bizarre. What distribution are you using?

No, its not bizarre
tail / head +NUM is -deprecated- behaviour. (even according to posix standards)

Change it to use "tail -n 6" and it will work on everything.

Interesting; thanks for pointing that out. I was using some random script I found to package that up, so I didn't write it. I will correct the error.

Ah, version 2.1.2 of makeself fixes it. I'll upload a fixed version to the website now.

Sorry to everyone who had this problem. I should have looked sooner.
