Well I downloaded xcode 3.2.6 off the apple developer site and the first time I installed it, it worked. After running it, I noticed it had some error about missing sdk so I thought I should uninstall xcode and reinstall. So I did the sudo thing in terminal. I then tried to install xcode again and I realized that I had deleted the .dmg file. So I went to the developer site again and downloaded the same thing. After downloading, it does the usual verifying process before it mounts. While verifying, it returns an error with a reason saying "input/output". I thought it might have just some how gotten corrupted while downloading so I tried downloading it again and I encountered the same exact problem. Even when I downloaded earlier versions of xcode it did the same thing. I could install all other .dmg files without a problem. Also, the latest xcode 4 installed perfectly, but its very different and I would prefer to use xcode 3.2.6.

I heard that people who encounter this problem fixed it by doing a full restore of OSX. I don't want to lose all my files so that's my last resort.

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Wow. You did everything wrong from the start.



To fix the missing SDK, all you had to do right-click on the app your making to choose a new compatible SDK from the menu (there WILL be at least 2 there by default) .



Xcode does install some basic mac SDK's (10.5 and 10.6) but if you downloaded the source to some app and tried to compile it without the specific SDK, you will get that error. If it was an iPhone app, all you had to do is download the iPhone SDK and stick it in the /Developer/SDK folder. Same with a 10.4 app, 10.3 app etc...



Also, "the sudo thing in terminal" does not help people understand what you did at all. If you want any help, post what command you actually used.

Limewire is the place you will get viruses in case you wanna get carry of an working device, various bogus documents on that P2P application. i prefer to advise determining to purchase a duplicate of it. yet you additionally can do it the "unlawful" way of torrents.
