One - a search tends to work better when you correctly spell the search string. My Bad. Two - You don't get forgiven for typos round here!! Thanks for pointing out the thread. It looks like it will fix my problem. As I pointed out in the earlier thread - download and install the full Xcode 1.5 package from ADC http://connect.apple.com. One quick question. I am sat in a hotel room a long way from a braodband connection. this is a 300 M download. That's a lot on a dial up at hotel phone rates. Is there a less financially crippling way of just getting the essential files, or do I need the full update to XCode? Dave
[OT] Black Screen of Death
Sometimes, usually when I get to my desk in the morning, my mac has a black screen with scrolling white text (that I've yet to actually read). No way to stop it that I know of short of unplugging the computer and starting back up. Anyone else experiencing this? PowerMac, G4 1.25, Mirrored Doors, OS X 10.3.5, 768 megs ram.

No way to stop it that I know of short of unplugging the computer and starting back up. That sounds, almost certainly, like a kernel panic. Run Disk Utility/Disk Warrior first of all but in my only experience of KPs mine was caused by a defective mouse so you'll need to note the text on screen to diagnose what's causing it.

It's difficult to read the text that's scrolling on the screen because it's moving so darn fast, my old eyes aren't very good anymore, and I tend to get those pesky Optic Migraines when I stare at anything that strobes or has significant glare, and of course, David points out the other obvious reason below On Oct 17, 2004, at 8:09 AM, David Cantrell wrote: Did you not consider for one moment that perhaps that text might help you to solve whatever's going on, before wasting our time?

Re: [OT] Black Screen of Death
I was hoping that the error might be found in one of the Console logs. It ought to be in one of the logs, yes. Sorry that I don't remember which. Check in /var/logs List by time, so you can tell which files were written most recently: ls -latT (IIRC. might want to man ls if that set of options doesn't work.) Some of the files are binary, but I'm pretty sure the most important ones are text. Oh, and run this command first: last That is not all, but it' all off the top of my head this AM.

Re: Yet another Mac OSX and DBI question
One quick question. I am sat in a hotel room a long way from a braodband connection. this is a 300 M download. That's a lot on a dial up at hotel phone rates. Is there a less financially crippling way of just getting the essential files, or do I need the full update to XCode? I've never tried this, but the files have been named. Might be worth a try getting them from Apple's darwin source code, hand compiling them and copying them into place. I suspect you won't get the options (like dynamic library vs. static or object code, object output format, among others) correct the first try. I'd guess dynamic library and somthing other than elf, but I'd likely be wrong and incomplete. Anyone else have a guess to hazard? I'm sure you'd want to get the complete package installed once you get back where you have broadband. And maybe one of us should file a bug report or suggestion that Apple put up a download of just the relevant files? -- Joel Rees It's not the Here's a button, click it! attitude, It's Bill saying he has to be free to invent our technological future.
