Redhat – How to unzip files bigger than 4GB

compressionredhat

I'm using RHEL 5.6 and unzip-5.52-3.el5. I'm trying to unzip a big file, but I get the error:

unzip -o test.zip -d unzip/
error:  Zip file too big (greater than 4294959102 bytes)
Archive:  test.zip
warning [test.zip]:  4294967296 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile

Is there another program that can work with large zip files or do I have to wait until unzip 6 comes to RHEL? (might be years!)

Thanks

If you've got Java on the box, you can use 

jar xf test.zip
