You got the license keys from the same place?, when you say they don't work.  Are they corrupt or something?.

There was an issue with the false/broken gnutar, but can't remember exactly.

You have to install an alternative gnutar and than reinstall the broken apps. I'm realy shure that i had the same problem on my black box.

Speaking of Lighthouse apps - have you had any problems running Quantrix in OPENSTEP 4.2?
I've tried it on several x86 computers and my SPARCStation 5, but I've never been able to get it running.

i tried installing running quantrix on a patched NeXTSTEP with the instructions from above, but failed.
i don't know what's wrong. it still hangs on start up.

If you do a search in the archives of google, you'll see that this problem affected both NEXTSTEP 3.3 & OPENSTEP 4.2.  The simplest way to resolve the issue is to copy /usr/bin/gnutar off your INSTALL cd to something like /usr/bin/gnxtar.  Then use emacs, a hexeditor, etc & open up the Quantrix/Concurrence binaries.  Do a search for /usr/bin/gnutar & replace it w/ /usr/bin/gnxtar.  Then save it.  That'll take care of the problem. :-)  Take care.

Here's just one post of several from the comp.sys.next.* groups:
This does fix the problem.  To avoid having to determine the PID each
time, I came up with the following hack (all done as root):

1.  Copy the original gnutar (v1.11.2) from the OS 4.2 User CD to a
directory other than /usr/bin, rename it from gnutar to qtxtar, then
move qtxtar to /usr/bin (prevents overwriting the new gnutar).
2.  Open the Quantrix binary from the appwrapper in Edit.app.
3.  Find the string "/usr/bin/gnutar".
4.  Replace it with the string "/usr/bin/qtxtar"
5.  Save the Quantrix binary
6.  Put a readme in the Quantrix.app wrapper to document.

Any side-effects of this hack are unknown, but should be limited to
Quantrix files only.

Thanks again, I'd have never found this without your help!
