eclipse install on mac - file unarchive error

Hi,

 

I am trying to do a new install on a mac (osx 10.5.8) and get the following error when I try to unarchive the file.  I've tried downloading the file multiple times and also putting in different locations to unarchive.  And tried doing the unarchive with terminal command.  Doesn't work.  Unarchive works fine for other files.  Seems like a problem with the file.  

 

Unable to unarchive "force.com-ide-installer-macosx.tgz" into "Desktop"

(Error 2 - No such file or directory.)

 

I downloaded file from here, I wonder if there are other locations to get it from.  (I can't find others.)

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

I got around this by installing Eclipse and then installing IDE extension.  What I did is this:

 

Download and Install Eclipse

 

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/helios/sr2


Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

 

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/heliossr2
Mac OS X(Cocoa 64)

 

File:

eclipse-java-helios-SR1-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz

 

 

Eclipse Install instructions

Force.com IDE Installation for Eclipse 3.6

Install error:

Troubleshooting

 

Unable to install the Force.com plugin for eclipse. getting md5 mismatch

Ran applications/utilities/java preferences and dragged Java SE 6 (1.6.0_26-b03-384) to top of list. Then re did IDE install and worked without error.
