hi all I've updated my MacPro to Xcode5 and the companion tools this morning to see if the problem also shows up. (MacPro5,1 mid 2010, 3,33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, 16 Gb 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC, OS X 10.8.5).
i've updated fink before installing Xcode5 (selfupdate and update-all) , then upgraded to Xcode5, then ran 'fink rebuild base-files' to see whether the same 'tar: memory exhausted' error popped up. and it didn't - for whatever reason i can't imagine. at least, my MacPro is still in working order! are there weird conditions, that could be encountered on a last-gen Retina MacBookPro (with SSDs), that may produce this tar: memory exhausted problem, and that you are aware of? did anybody update to XCode5 on the same machine and get the same issue? thanks jeanfrancois donati Le 23 sept. 2013 à 09:24, jean-francois <jean-francois.don...@irap.omp.eu> a écrit : >> Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce this.
