Can't Install XCode Tools 2.3

Can't Install XCode Tools 2.3


  • Subject: Can't Install XCode Tools 2.3
  • From: John Hopkins <email@hidden>

I downloaded the 915MB XCode Tools 2.3 installer from
the Apple developer site:

xcode_2.3_8m1780_oz693620813.dmg

It mounts fine, and double-clicking the
XCodeTools.mpkg launches the installer. However the
installation never runs even close to completion.

My system is an iMac--800 MHz G4, 512 MB ram, Mac OS
10.4.6.

The installer runs fine, sometimes as far as the stage
"writing files", even beyond "6% complete"
and then gracefully terminates the install, asking me
to Please Install again.

The log file contains a few error entries after the
failure. Actually, each time I attempt the install the
error entries are different. But, a typical set of
entries is either:

May 29 10:21:55 Macintosh : Unable to create
destination receipt directory at
/private/tmp/DeveloperTools.pkg.955pU8fMa/Receipts/DeveloperTools.pkg/Contents

May 29 10:21:57 Macintosh : BomFileError 17: File
exists -
///Developer/Palettes/ASKPalette.palette/Contents/Resources/info_icon.tiff

May 29 10:21:57 Macintosh : Install failed: Some files
for DeveloperTools may not have been written
correctly.

OR perhaps

May 29 10:32:09 Macintosh : BomFileError 17: File
exists -
///Developer/Applications/Utilities/Accessibility
Tools/Accessibility
Verifier.app/Contents/Resources/Accessibility Verifier
Help/Accessibility Verifier Help idx

May 29 10:32:09 Macintosh : Install failed: Some files
for DeveloperTools may not have been written
correctly.

//End of error log entries


I can log in as my regular user account or as root,
and the same kinds of failure occur.

I can precede the install by running the perl script
uninstaller or not, and the same kinds of failure
occur.

I downloaded the bemoth installer twice assuming that
I had a corrupted installer the first time. That
didn't help either.

I've never had problems installing previous version of
XCode on this machine, although XCode 2.0 was probably
the last version I installed.

Any suggestions?
