("#! /usr/bin/env ruby") You don't specify a full path to the ruby interpreter. You also don't appear to be modifying the environment with the /usr/bin/env invocation, so why go through that? Why not just set the first line to "#!/usr/bin/ruby" ? -- Steve Stockman Software Architect Consumer Products - Macintosh Symantec Corporation Office: 402-296-4026 Fax: 402-296-2026 Email: steve_stockman@symantec.com www.symantec.com

I have in my package a script named 'postflight'. It appears in the Contents/Resources directory of the package. It has the executable bits set. It is a Ruby script, with the first line being #! /usr/bin/ env ruby .

Whenever I try the installer, the only error appearing in the log is this:

<date> <hostname> : Install failed: The following install step failed: run postflight script for <myPackageName>

The postflight script indeed has had none of its intended effects, even when I reduce it to deleting the installed payload. I have lots of debugging prints (both to stdout and stderr), but nothing from the script ‹ nor prints, not scripting errors ‹ shows up in the install log or the console.

The task is to take a target directory installed in /Users/Shared, recursively set the ownership of a subdirectory to ENV['USER'] ($USER for shell fans), and move the subdirectory to ~/Library/Application\ Support, if such a folder does not already exist. It then deletes the wrapper directory from /Users/Shared.

The script runs correctly in the command line, from within the pkg, and returns 0.

What am I doing wrong?
