So, what is included in this 70 Meg beast? --T ------------------ ____________________ This space for rent

In OSX, under the "application" menu, is the system wide "Preferences..." menu item. It, in my carbon app, is currently dimmed. I know that there is a 'pref' apple event that one…

hi, just downloaded the developer tools from the apple site. when i try and install them, installation goes smoothly until the very last step when the installer starts writing fil…

I'm going to move this one over to Mac OS X Developer . Click through to find your post.

Same error. Don'know what to do. Logs are not telling anything...

It is a decompression issue in stuffit expander. let stuffit make the tar file (called 3.7.19.DownloadSoftware.1.1.1) you must remove the pkg file that was made if appropriate!!!…

Oh, and BTW you may need to be root to rm that file. [i.e. from the command line] ------------------ Henry Feldman NYU School of Medicine

The installer crashes on me just when it has started the installation of the files. The log file tells the following: object is a folder! object is a folder! Oct 12 23:13:42 Instal…

Approx same pb, all files not copied. I'll try again from new OS X Install later. Anyone got this problem too?

I had the bompath problem and tried to do the "tar -xvf filename" command but it didn't work just gave me a bunch of errors and it kept giving me these errors until I forced it to …

Hmmm...Same problem....None of the posted methods worked....But after SU to root from a command line (and after tar -xvf + gnutar -zxvf) - the orginally unstuffed package decided t…

Ok...worked. But looks like you have to be logged in as ROOT - to get access OR install these tools.... Tj

Had the same problem. The easiest way to solve this is just to use MacOS9 with its Stuffit Expander to unstuff the downloaded file and then it will work. There must be something w…

I logged in as root. I downloaded the image with OmniWeb (because Omni leaves the file untouched after download). It is a .tgz file. I cd to the download directory, confirmed its …

Gametes: Try installing as root (ie, log in as root, then use Installer.app). I had the same problem 'till I tried that. Then it worked. All's well that ends well. :-) -------…

This worked for me (as root): 1. Download the disk image (downloaded as: 4.7.19.DownloadSoftware.1.1) 2. Double-Click this file and StuffIt will expand it to 4.7.19.DownloadSo…

This may sound crazy, but it works... If you still have OS 9 on your computer, reboot into it and decompress the file in OS 9. I have an iBook with 9.0.4 and OS X installed in th…

I apologise for my ignorance but... I tried downloading the OSX dev tools. I noticed that the file type is TAR. I downloaded a 69MB file but it does not open with disk copy as I th…

tar (short for "Tape ARchive") is an old Unix-based archiving format. Stuffit Expander can't do much with these for the moment. What you need to do is drop to a terminal, go to th…

Here's the interesting thing... I'm downloading the disk image under OS9 at work because of faster connection. The file I download has the name '5.7.19.DownloadSoftware.1 2.1' Shou…

It doesn't have to end with .tar, just put it on the MacOS X HD and do the gnutar command mentioned above and it will untar just fine. /Gabbe
