Subject: installing grass on mac os x

Platform: Mac OS X
Xwindows version: Xfree 4.0.x
grass downloaded at: Baylor site
grass binary for platform: Mac OS X binaries

I can't get past first base!  I downloaded all the binaries and merged 
them with cat.  When I try to use the grass5install.sh script, it gives me 
an error using gunzip (invalid compressed data--format violated).

I downloaded all the files twice, once with a browser and the second 
time with FTP in I (binary) mode.  Both times yielded the same results.  
What am I doing wrong?

>> Transcript of sh session:

GRASS GIS 5 binary package installation tool

Checking and creating installation directory...
/usr/local/grass5
/usr/bin/gunzip
Using gunzip decompressor...
The package grass5.0beta11_Darwin_bin.tar.gz seems to be o.k.

Beta 11 is obsolete.  Mac OS X is somewhat experimental as well.

I don't think that this bug/error (if it has been an error of grass) is still
prevalent. Please complain again if the error is still there.
