Changing the subject slightly, has anyone else had a problem with the
installer? It freezes on me just before being finished. (I've run it
twice with the same result both times). I hadn't worried about it
until I realized that the debugger no longer works, silently failing
when I try to start a debug session.
I had this installer freeze too, and had also tried running the
installer a couple of times with consistently the same results.
However the debugger seems to be working for me.
I did however end up with a Mac that froze a short but variable time
after a reboot. It's quite possible that the reason for this was me
doing something slightly stupid, namely reinstalling the BSD subsystem
from the stock 10.3 DVD for reasons I will not go into (suffice it to
say they are good reasons). I did this just before I downloaded XCode
1.2...
Initially it looked to me like XCode was causing problems and given the
installer failure I'm not entirely sure that it wasn't. I didn't
remember seeing the installer do it's final pre-bindings update thing,
so I had a suspicion that may be a problem. Also I was suspicious that
some files might not be written fully or correctly. Attempting to
manually update the pre-bindings, and running all the system
maintenance scripts didn't fix things, neither did a permissions fix or
boot disc repair.
What did work was reinstalling the 10.3.3 update and security update.
In retrospect installing the BSD subsystem was probably the cause of my
problems. I had assumed that it wasn't installed on my system
(unfortunately I'm using a new Mac that I've only had for a few days)
and guessed that the installer system would at least warn me that this
OS component *was* already installed. I'm guessing I was wrong...
Thankfully it all seems to be fine now.
