Extracting QuantLib on Mac

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 and installed boost. I input:

tar xzvf QuantLib-1.10.tar.gz

output error:
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'QuantLib-1.10.tar.gz'

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Extracting QuantLib on Mac

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

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?

Re: Extracting QuantLib on Mac

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

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.

Luigi Ballabio

Re: Extracting QuantLib on Mac

What do you get if you type "ls" in the terminal?

Re: Extracting QuantLib on Mac

I get -bash: Is: command not found.

I am pretty new at this, so thank you for the help!

Re: Extracting QuantLib on Mac

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

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