    EigenFunctions - 2009-03-02

    I downloaded and ran the file "MinGW-5.1.4.exe"; It then downloaded all the files, but I get the following error message:

    Extracting gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz
    untgz::extract -d 'C:\Apps\MinGW' -z 'C:\Interim\~~Temp-Install\gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz'
    tgz_extract: bad header checksum
    Error: Failure reading from tarball.

    I tried to download and install again, but the problem remains.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks,

    BTW- Win XP SP2; Intel Core2 2GHz; Dell laptop

      I tried to download a down level version, but I get the same error.

      I erased everything and tried again - it still does not work.

      Can anyone help?

      Thanks,

      I found this in another forum and it works:

      SourceF@#$e is acting up. It looks like its sending people to this URL to download the g++:

      http://.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz

      Just take the leading dot out and drop it in the same dir as your MinGW install and you should be good to go.
