The problem with selfupdate is it (a) won't add any new dependencies because e.g. some library formerly provided by Apple went away or became incompatible (b) likely won't even start up if that's the case, but crash immediately with a missing library error. You need to start fresh with a base that knows about the peculiarities of the new OS release, which means updating via the installer. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
