Tar: Error Is Not Recoverable: Exiting Now

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I would try to unzip and untar separately and see what happens:

mv Doctrine-1.2.0.tgz Doctrine-1.2.0.tar.gz
gunzip Doctrine-1.2.0.tar.gz
tar xf Doctrine-1.2.0.tar

Error when `tar` a `.zip` on Linux

The tar command is for unpacking TAR archives, not zip files. You should either use the unzip command instead of tar:

unzip foo.zip

Or make a tar.gz archive on the Mac side instead of a zip file

tar -cvzf foo.tar.gz ....

which you can unpack with your existing tar command on the Linux side.
