Hello,
I am trying to run the command run_clavrx.sh on ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, but I need to run it three times before it can work. The first and the second time it gives me the following error:

Hi,

Is it always exactly three times? I suspect what might be happening is that the file download is getting interrupted for some reason, and you received an incomplete file the first two times.

Next time you get this error, could you check the size and md5 of the downloaded GFS file? I've bolded the file location in your example:

If you could run ls -l <file> and md5sum <file> for me, I could compare them to the same file on our server.
