compiler install fails - unpacking of archive failed

I am trying to install fortran compiler 11.1.072 in Scientific Linux 5.1 32-bit. I added the compat-libstdc++ library because of the so.5 problem. I get one error during install - it does not recognise Scientific Linux as a supported OS, but I force it to continue as it is very close to RHEL. In the end, the debugger installs and the math kernel library, but not the compiler itself. If I type "ifort -V" afterwards, this is not a valid command. So I read the log file and find an interesting error about unpacking of archive failed, and MD5 sum mismatch.
So should I just try downloading a few hundred megabytes of tgz file again? I presume I would get a later build than 072.

correct. You can try to manually unpack and install but the error is clear that something in the package is corrupt. A new download should fix this. Here is some info on doing 'silent' install, look for the section on RPM installation.

downloads are from https://registrationcenter.intel.com if you want to get a new package.
