DRC,
I still have the same problem when I try using the v1.1.81 TurboVNC.pkg
installer on my MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X 10.7.5, when using Apple's
built-in "Installer" application - Installer 5.0.1 (537).
The "Uninstall TurboVNC.app" application installs fine in my /Applications/
directory, but "TurboVNC Viewer.app" is missing.
However, I did manage to install the latest TurboVNC.pkg successfully using the
"Pacifist" shareware application to install the TurboVNC.pkg package, instead
of Apple's built-in "Installer" application.
I think I may have found a problem in the "makemacpkg.in" script within the
TurboVNC source:
cp -R "$PACKAGE_NAME Viewer.app" "$PKGROOT/Applications/$PACKAGE_NAME/"
cp -R "$TMPDIR/Uninstall $PACKAGE_NAME.app"
"$PKGROOT/Applications/$PACKAGE_NAME/"
Why is "$TMPDIR/" missing from "$PACKAGE_NAME Viewer.app" in the first line
(which tries to install the Java viewer), whereas it is present in the second
line (which installs the Uninstall apple script application) ?
Cheers,
James
