If the development usercode is not admin enabled, the Eiffel compiler starts parsing the first file (usually Action_Cell.e in the Cocoa library) and reports 'Class expected' on the Index clause.
The way to fix this problem is to do one of the following:
1) admin enable your usercode; 2) change the owner of the /Library/EiffelOT libraries to be you; or 3) copy the Eiffel libraries to your local usercode Library directory and change the Library dictionary.ep file to include /Users/<your uc> in the library path in all your projects.
Umm... you understand, do you not, that what you are describing is a bug, and that the responses you suggest are not "fixes" but workarounds? (1) is, in the minds of many reasonable developers, a security breach; (2) defeats the purpose of having a system-wide file-system domain; and (3) defeats the purpose of having a library (how, for instance, do you propose to update such a lash-up?).
You don't mention whether an actual fix to this problem is in the works, but I hope so.
