I just re-installed Tiger on an iMac which I was going to use as a
test bed compiler/server. Imagine my dismay when tried a test compile
with the Developer Studio (5.5.0.8) and I started getting a very
peculiar error referencing issues with security and advising me to
run -XLint...
So I checked the Java JVM and in fact, it had defaulted to 1.5
instead of 1.4.2. 1.4.2 was installed, but not being used. I tried
following advice about using a new GUI from Apple to change this
(Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/Java Preferences but that does
not do the trick.)
I then followed some advice from Mac OS X hints and WAS able to get
back to a Dev Studio compiler that worked. There was a flame war
going on about whether this was suitable, but in fact the guy opposed
to it gave the GUI advice which does not work in this situation...
follow the advice from the first message. Works like a charm.
