PPC-leopard</title></head><body>
<div>Thanks for your suggestions. However:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1) I use Safari.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>2) Checksum in the terminal :<font face="Courier"
size="+1" color="#000000"> openssl md5</font> following the prompt and
then drag and drop the file MacTex.pkg in the terminal window. Then I
yield:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>new-host:~ admin$ openssl md5/Users/admin/Desktop/MacTeX.pkg<br>
openssl:Error: 'md5/Users/admin/Desktop/MacTeX.pkg' is an invalid
command.<br>
</div>
<div>Same result starting from the upper level host:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>new-host:/ admin$ openssl
md5/Users/admin/Desktop/MacTeX.pkg</div>
<div>openssl:Error: 'md5/Users/admin/Desktop/MacTeX.pkg' is an invalid
command.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My mac has a strange behaviour!</div>

If you got a full download, check the md5 sum at<br>
<br>
<x-tab>
</x-tab>http://tug.org/mactex<br>
<br>
If it doesn't agree with the value there, your download was
defective.<br>
<br>
If neither suggestion helps, write again.<br>

Contact the editor of the software" ("le programme n'a pas
pu valider le contenu du paquet 'local-2', etc."). Same result
from two mirror sites (french site ircam and US site).<br>
