I'm trying to install SOAP but when I download the file SOAPdenovo2-src-r240-mac.tgz under r240 under the src folder (not the bin folder), what I actually get is a .tar file, not a .tgz file. If I extract it, I get two executable files, but when I actually try to run them, the terminal comes back and says that it can't execute a binary file. Why am I getting binary files when I downloaded from the src folder? I've tried everything I can think of, but in the end, it won't execute the binary file. Has anyone run into this before, or know what I might be missing?
Thank you for any advice you can give me, I'm stumped.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I've checked the file again, it's tgz. After extraction, you can see source codes and two compiled binaries SOAPdenovo-63mer and SOAPdenovo-127mer, you can also use command "make" to compile your own binaries. I've successfully ran the two binaries and compiled the codes on Mac OS 10.9.3.
