Fixing the broken security update on OS X 10.4

Thu, 02/19/2009 - 10:14 — Alan

I installed the latest java and security updates (2009-001 1.0) to my 10.4.11 MacBook a couple of nights ago. Even during the installation process, it was showing signs of problems. The updater failed to install the update several times. The Macbook wouldn't shut down despite leaving it for 15-20 minutes. Nor would it boot. The only way to get the machine up and running was to do an Archive and Install.

Installing Macport on OS X 10.4

This has been frustrating however it's beginning to look like there's light at the end of the tunnel.

I thought I'd install Macports so I could install the full version of Gimp on Tiger (OS X 10.4). First you have to find your install cds. After downloading Macports itself, installing and trying to install Gimp2, I found that the version of xcode on the install cds is not sufficient.
