https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8583 <p> When running as root, untaring the boost package using gentoo prefix on Interix v3.5 for Windows XP fails with: </p> <blockquote> <p> <em>Cannot change ownership to uid 501, gid 0: Invalid argument</em> </p> </blockquote> <p> This is solved by running tar with flags: </p> <blockquote> <p> "--user root --no-same-owner" </p> </blockquote> <p> This issue is unique to boost .tar.gz files and blocks any installation by gentoo emerge. </p> <p> More information found here: <a class="ext-link" href="http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-959612-highlight-.html"><span class="icon">​</span>http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-959612-highlight-.html</a> </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8583 Trac 1.4.3 anonymous Sat, 18 May 2013 02:46:53 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8583#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8583#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Building Boost</span> </li> </ul> Ticket
