Hi Vince, Installing software on Mac is usually pretty straightforward, either drag the .app in your /Application folder (or a subfolder) or run the installer if there is one.
However, you are correct that Eclipse is an exception and I usually resort to manual installing for it. I create /Applications/Eclipse-Indigo-blahblah, cd there, untar in that directory and then I move eclipse/Eclipse.app into the Dock. -- Cédric On Fri, Jul 15, 2011 at 12:53 AM, Vince O'Sullivan <[email protected]>wrote: > This started out as a full page rant about the unintuitive Apple OS > and why we're still all - except MS - stuck with Unix this far into > the 21st century; but I've rewritten it and managed to boil it down to > the paragraph below... > > I bought my first Mac computer this week.
