ps3toolchain build error

[MoRRoW]

Hey community, I have a problem while building the ps3toolchain.
When the ps3libraries are about to install and the 001-zlib-1.2.5.sh script is called I get the following ERROR:

..................
zlib-1.2.5/zlib.h
zlib-1.2.5/zlib.map

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
zlib-1.2.5/zlib.pc.in
zlib-1.2.5/zlib2ansi
zlib-1.2.5/zutil.c
zlib-1.2.5/zutil.h
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
../scripts/001-zlib-1.2.5.sh: Failed.
../scripts/012-ps3libraries.sh: Failed.

I was able to solve this by changing the script to load and unpack
zlib-1.2.5.tar.bz2 instead of zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz
but now I've got the same error with cairo-1.10.0.tar.gz.
If you have any ideas i would be thankful,all other .tar.gz were
unpacked without any problems.

Cheers MoRRoW

Did you look at the Dev FAQs thread? There is a good bit in there about downloading and rebuilding the toolchain for Linux (using evilsperm's Ubuntu VM image)

[MoRRoW]

Yeah I checked the FAQ, but the the problem isn't the toolchain itself,it is the ps3libraries part.
I tried other git repos with ps3libraries in it but none of them worked.
Further I'm not using VMware, I'm on Backtrack with all needed Software and
correct Login Script.
Don't have a clue what I'm doing wrong.

Whose repo are you using? Older repos are filled with incomplete commits and I always had issue with bad repos. I found to simplify the process I would just download and unpack all the libs before running ./tookchain.sh

Using toolchain-sudo will give you nothing but headaches thirds your are doing it for a specific reason.

Honestly evilsperms vm is a rushed together compile if the toolchain and psl1ght (and is rarely updated) you'd be better off starting from scratch, it takes a few hours but you can set your environment variables yourself.

I know it's a stupid. question but have you made sure that all prereqs are fulfilled?

I had similar errors that's why I just stated over from scratch.

Okay guys, don't know why but after starting over with a fresh Linux-install
everything worked, except of zlib-1.2.5 but there was a workaround, so this
thread can be closed.

Cheers
