I was trying to install the 32 bit Phenix-dev-782 or the official release 1.7.1-743 onto a virtual ubuntu 10.04 32-bit machine. Both of them failed with this error:<br>
<br>
/bin/tar: ./build/intel-linux-2.6/base/bin/wx-config: Cannot create symlink to `/net/longnose/scratch2/phenix/phenix-dev-782/build/intel-linux-2.6/base/lib/wx/config/gtk2-ansi-release-2.8&#39;: Operation not supported<br>
