Same problem: this is a odd requirement of Slackware. I tried with a normal 
version of tar (I used a fake symbolic link), and it works. Only a slackware 
specialist could tell us what is the point with tar-1.13...

Is Gambas the only Linux development tool that has a binary packager, and that 
tries to be distribution-independent? :-)
