installer and developer tools
I wasn't able to mount the disk image on my remote headless machine (a beige G3 tower) for some reason unbeknownst to me (because it doesn't have a monitor attached?), so I copied the individual packages over and attempted to install them from a directory in my user account via sudo. A peculiar thing happened with this approach: the installer claimed the first package, DevTools.pkg with the compilers and so on, was installed successfully but it wasn't! As I just found out, this caused the DevSDK.pkg install to fail because /usr/bin/cc wasn't there. I finally did get everything to install by issuing the install commands, sudo installer -verbose -pkg ~/DevSDK.pkg -target / -verbose and such, from the root directory! Lesson learned: the installer may lie to you by saying it was successful when it wasn't!. It looks like Apple's installer is still very fragile. It's unfortunate that such a "new" operating system already has a long history of defects with such fundamental functionality.
