This is on 10.4.9 and the user account is not allowed to administer
the computer. I have the Default Location under the Configuration
tab set to /tmp, Authentication set to None, only Flags set are Root
Volume Only and Follow Symbolic Links. Contents tab has the Advanced
options all checked.
I did try Iceberg first but was a bit confused on how to specify /tmp
as the default location.

As has been mentioned in the archives but without a clear
solution, I am trying to install to the User's Application folder
( ~/Applications). To do this in PackageMaker I install to /tmp
first then with postinstall script mv application to the user's
Applications folder. The problem is the receipt is trying to be
copied by packagemaker to the /Library/Receipts folder instead of
~/Library/Receipts. The installer does not require Admin privs so
this does not work and I get this error in the log:
Apr 26 10:39:05 Mac-Pro : pkgReceiptMaker[518]: 2007-04-26
10:39:05.052 pkgReceiptMaker[518] Error 13 (Permission denied)
trying to rename App.pkg to /Library/Receipts/App.pkg
What is required to avoid this error since the installer tells the
user the installation failed because of this??
On which OS versions are you seeing this?
I tried on 10.2.8 and 10.4.9 and installing in /tmp with no
authorization required is working fine.
On a side note, I'm not sure there's something such as ~/Library/
Receipts (it was not created on my machine and it would be strange
to have it there somehow).
