as you know the installer for 1.6.2 fails to download the libraries, after following the instructions in the EAQ i still cant get forge installed.
downloaded and extracted the files then ran minecraft like it said to, but nothing happened so to speak.
vanilla minecraft just launched as it would w/o the libraries.
tried downloading the installer again, with the libraries already there from the manual download.
it got past the scala-library, but not the scala-compiler. it seems to always try downloading and extracting the compiler, even if its already there.
any idea how to fix this?
( OS debain based linux with java7 64bit )
[edit]
no clue how but 8 tries later of just running the installer ,after all the above stuff, it finally worked.
