Re: Running application on Vanilla Machine!!!

This is most likely a bug in your software.  CFNumberGetValue is present in all versions of Mac OS X and is also available in the CarbonLib library as far back as Mac OS 8.6.

The (CFNumberGetValue + 60) is the place in which the system function that it crashed.  When a system function crashes like this, it's usually because you passed it an illegal value.   Make sure that the CFNumberRef is non-nil, that the CFNumberType is one of the enumerated CFNumberType values, and that the valuePtr you pass points to allocated, initialized memory of a sufficient size to hold your expected result.  Often forgetting to pass a pointer in the third value will provoke this crash.

    The problem seems to be in OS installation (core foundation
libraries) and not in my application. Is the installation of Panther enough
to run application that use CoreFoundation files or do we need to install
something else.
    Can anyone please help me?

Using a debugger to verify that your input values are correct is probably a more useful first step in debugging crashes like this than worrying about misconfigured system software.
