I downloaded the new FPC version, 2.1.4, for the Intel Mac platform

FPC instead." (!) Can anyone figure out what is wrong? My Mac has
Intel processor.
Sorry, my fault. Since I don't have an Intel Mac myself I was not able
to test the installer package and the installation requirements
settings I added to it. I've now however tested a similar setting for
the PPC package and got the same error. I've now uploaded a fixed
installer package (called version 2.1.4a, to distinguish it from the
broken one) , but you do not have to download it again as you can fix
the downloaded package yourself if you want to:
a) copy the installer from the disk image to your hard disk
b) open /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor.app
c) choose File->Open and navigate into the copied installer package,
then into the Contents folder, and open the file Info.plist
d) scroll to the bottom, click on the disclosing triangle next to
IFRequirementDicts and then next to 0, and then change the following
settings
* SpecArgument: change into sysa (was: gestaltSysArchitecture)
* TestObject: change into 10 (was: gestaltIntel)
(the problem is that I used the symbolic constant names from the
headers instead of their actual values)
e) save, and then install the package
