Question 2:
(This question is not a substitute to question 1 because I need to know why I get the error above)
I am going to write scripts for creating/deleting/editing archives. I want to know if I can use the linux version of p7zip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/ ) in mac os since I am not sure if the mac os version will be in active development or not.

If you are speaking about binaries, then you'll need one that has been compiled for Mac OS X.


On the other hand, you may want to compile from the source code yourself.
I guess you'll have to download the p7zip_9.04_src_all.tar.bz2 tarball, not the p7zip_9.04_x86_linux_bin.tar.bz2 tarball, since Mac OS X is Unix-based (i.e. a BSD/FreeBSD flavor).



Or do you want to recommend me some other free command line utility to compress/decompress files?

It depends on the archive formats you are interested in; p7zip seems to be rather versatile from that point of view.
On the other hand, Mac OS X comes natively with various utilities allowing to handle some formats; to name some of them: zip, pkzip, gz, bz2, tar, cpio, cpgz, dmg.



 These are my requirements for such utility:
ability to create and open archives with password
ability to open split archives

Well... see above. ;-)

HTH,
Axel
