[Quantlib-users] Extracting QuantLib on Mac

[Luigi Ballabio]

Are you sure the download was successful? The tar.gz file should be 8.5 MB.
May you try downloading it again?

Luigi

Hi,
I'm trying to extract QuantLib-1.10.tar, and I receive an error. I can't
find an answer to what is going wrong. For background, I installed MacPorts
tar xzvf QuantLib-1.10.tar.gz
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'QuantLib-1.10.tar.gz'
Any help would be much appreciated.

obvious questions are:
from wht URL was it retrieved -- if SF, they
occasionally return an intermediate HTML content page. Check
thus:
file QuantLib-1.10.tar.gz

I downloaded and tried again, but it didn't work. The size is 8.9 MB. I
checked that MacPorts and Boost is installed correctly. Could the problem be
that the path for boost is wrong?

Russ,

I typed what you suggested into the terminal, and I got this:

QuantLib-1.10.tar.gz: cannot open `QuantLib-1.10.tar.gz' (No such file or
directory)

I can't figure out why.

That would be "ls" with a lowercase L, not an I.

I get -bash: Is: command not found.
I am pretty new at this, so thank you for the help!

I figured it out. You were right Luigi. I was extracting from the incorrect
place in my command line. Thank you for the help!

Boost has nothing to do with that step. Are you launching the command from
the folder where you downloaded the file?
