troubles installing forge (solved)

[nix4me]

I'm having some issues here installing minecraft forge.

My OS is slackware 64bit, minecraft version 1.4.7, and using minecraftforge-universal-1.4.7-6.6.0.497.zip. I've tried a few other versions with the same results. I've googled the error, and found only a post elsewhere that was answered with "Not all of Forge was installed into your .jar."

 

I'm pretty sure that's not the case here.

 

The error is as follows:

Reinstall.

I've tried a fresh minecraft install three times now.

 

update: I finally got it working by using  different archive software.

 

Thanks for minecraft forge.
