 * I had this problem until a coworker pointed out that if you hover your mouse 
   over the download link it actually points to [http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz](http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz)
   instead of the wordpress-1.2.2.targ.gz that you get when you click on it. So 
   I opened a terminal and did:
 * wget [http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz](http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz)
 * and downloaded it, unpacked it, and it worked great.
