Hi Robert, Thanks for replying, I will be changing the library name to libtar-ng.so, since the original author does not want me to use the libtar name. Looks like the example fix is already applied.

As far as Gentoo is concerned, you can find two here: <a href="http://sources.gentoo.org/dev-libs/libtar/files/" target="_blank">http://sources.gentoo.org/dev-libs/libtar/files/</a> The libtar-1.2.11-memleak.patch is not applied any more as it caused compilation bugs in reverse dependencies, see <a href="https://bugs.gentoo.org/228445" target="_blank">https://bugs.gentoo.org/228445</a> Hope this helps, Robert </blockquote></div>
