That's kind-of deliberate. If you're not logged in with the OCC website, it redirects to the register page. The opencascade folks would like you to register before downloading - you only have to provide a few details, and they don't spam. It probably helps their funding to say X new people downloaded last month, or somesuch. Maybe we should make it more obvious this will happen on the wiki. > http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7571&detail=0 Interesting - I didn't know archlinux had an OCC package. > I downloaded from this link: > http://files.opencascade.com/OCC_6.3_release/OpenCASCADE_src.tgz Okay, I'm a bit confused now.

Let us know where you're at, I think you're nearly there.
