Hi,

I downloaded the new FPC version, 2.1.4, for the Intel Mac platform to try it. When I try to install it the installer refuses to proceed, saying that "this package contains only Intel binaries which cannot be used on a PowerPC-based Macintosh. Install the PowerPC version of FPC instead." (!) Can anyone figure out what is wrong? My Mac has Intel processor.

Thanks

Sorry, my fault. Since I don't have an Intel Mac myself I was not able to test the installer package and the installation requirements settings I added to it. I've now however tested a similar setting for the PPC package and got the same error. I've now uploaded a fixed installer package (called version 2.1.4a, to distinguish it from the broken one) , but you do not have to download it again as you can fix the downloaded package yourself if you want to:

a) copy the installer from the disk image to your hard disk b) open /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor.app c) choose File->Open and navigate into the copied installer package, then into the Contents folder, and open the file Info.plist d) scroll to the bottom, click on the disclosing triangle next to IFRequirementDicts and then next to 0, and then change the following settings

* SpecArgument: change into sysa (was: gestaltSysArchitecture)
* TestObject: change into 10 (was: gestaltIntel)

(the problem is that I used the symbolic constant names from the headers instead of their actual values)

e) save, and then install the package

OK, thanks very much. The fix worked fine.

OK, thanks very much. The fix worked fine.

Glad to hear that! This means that the fixed package I uploaded is indeed really fixed :)
