Xtools: problem with installation

[marcello70]

Hi

I've downloaded the 21 segments of the Xtools installer but I am unable to mount it. Whereas from 002 to 021 the files come with dmgpart as extension 001 comes with dmg.bin and StuffIt won't decompress it (because it "doesn't appear to be compressed or encoded").

If I try to mount other image disks I get the message: "missing segment. Part(s) missing: 1."

All of the files appear to be completed, since their size is the same as it is displayed in the ftp page.

Any advise?

Hmm... try changing all the files' extensions to either dmg.bin or dmgpart. Might work.

Or just download the complete, 1-part installer. Sure, it's rather huge, but start it when you go to work. And you can work around the download just fine, as well.

Well, only the segments are available online, and if you want them to send you snail, you have to pay the yearly $ 500.

I tried changing the extension:
1. dmgpart: Message: Not recognized.
2. dmg.bin: unable do decompress.

Isn't XTools on the CD that comes with Panther?

I just installed it yesterday and it worked fine without unstuffing anything but the first dmg which does not have any 001 in its name here. Here is a listing of the files in the directory I did the install from:

Read_Me-Xcode_Tools_1.1.pdf Xcode_1.1.013.dmgpart.bin
Xcode_1.1.002.dmgpart.bin Xcode_1.1.014.dmgpart.bin
Xcode_1.1.003.dmgpart.bin Xcode_1.1.015.dmgpart.bin
Xcode_1.1.004.dmgpart.bin Xcode_1.1.016.dmgpart.bin

Xcode_1.1.011.dmgpart.bin Xcode_1.1.dmg.bin
Xcode_1.1.012.dmgpart.bin Xcode_1.1_Release_Notes.pdf

Hope that helps...

Hi Lurk,

Did you download it from:

ftp://user@imercury4.euro.apple.com/Mac_OS_X/Xcode_Tools_1.1/ ?

Because I didn't find any Xcode_1.1.dmg there just Xcode_1.1.dmg.bin.

I think this bin file is the problem. Could you or anybody upload it somewhere for me? or tell me where to get it?

Thanks,
Marcello

Why not just install it off the Panther CD that you purchased?

Where about is it? Is it with the three main CDs, in one of the packages?
