| Subject: | Creator and Type Tests Fail on Intel SR MacBook Pro |
The tests don't fail for the reason you might think.
In fact, I'm reporting this as a bug only because it prevents the
installation of Mac::Carbon. (Which, believe it or not, is indirectly a
dependency of Bundle::CPAN).
As far as I can tell, the tests fail because the build of Mac OS X that
comes with this MacBook Pro Santa Rosa 2.2 GHz does not have a creator
code or file type for the file the tests are checking. Mac::Carbon 0.71
(which seems to come installed), the GetFileInfo tool in the Developer
Tools, and AppleScript all seem to agree:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder is missing a creator code and file type.
On every other Mac I checked, the same file has the expected creator
code and file type. What is that file, anyway? It's zero bytes and is
not the same as Finder.app in the same folder.
If I can be of any help, let me know. If it appears I've completely
misdiagnosed the problem, please also let me know. :)
If you would like, I'll install from the media that came with the
computer to another partition to verify that this is the case on a clean
system.
Thank you. Mac::Carbon is beyond wonderful.
