[Gvsig_english] 1.0 installation problems Ubuntu Edgy (6.1)

[Chris Puttick]

Hi

We are trialling open source alternatives for desktop GIS and are having problems installing gvSIG on a fresh Ubuntu Edgy 64 bit system. The problem appears to lie in the install script's use of the tail, namely

tail +$lcount $0 | tar -xz  --no-same-owner

Where +<line count> is flagged as deprecated, with the new preferred notation -n +<line count> e.g. 

tail -n +$lcount $0 | tar -xz  --no-same-owner

would work. Any suggestions for a work-around?

Cheers

Chris
