hdiutil create fails to work on MacOS X 10.3.5

Cocoa developers,

 

I recently bought a booked called “MacOS X Unleashed” and it explains a section on how to run the disk image (.dmg) command line utility called hdiutil. I believe the book was written in Jaguar days, so maybe out of date.

 

Basically when I call

 

prompt $ hdiutil create [some options like –sectors] funkymonkey

 

… the result is “Failed- error 704”.

 

When I run with the –debug and –verbose options a lot of stuff is spat out which seems to suggest that the hdiutil program is having trouble (read: cannot) loading the DiskImage framework (and it seems to attempt this more than once). I find the DiskImage.framework in my /System/Library/PrivateFramework directory.

 

What gives?

 

Regards,

Warwick Hall
