OSX 10.4 Tiger distribution installs on 10.3 Panther without warning
When downloading the Tor installation package, it is very possible to select the wrong one for your OS. In downloading the Tor distribution with the Vidalia interface for OSX 10.4 (Tiger) (http://www.vidalia-project.net/dist/vidalia-bundle-0.1.1.21-0.0.5-2.dmg), then running the install, the installation program does not check to see if it is being run on a OSX 10.4 machine. The install interface in this package looks exactly like the standard Apple install interface, which normally will check your OS version and stop you from installing if it is not correct. Trying to run Tor for OSX 10.4 in OSX 10.3 from within Vidallia gives an error window that states Tor failed to start and to check the Message window for details. The message window remains blank - no messages were recorded. Running Tor (OSX 10.4) in OSX 10.3.x from the command line gives this error:
geep:~ root# tor dyld: tor Undefined symbols: tor undefined reference to ___stderrp expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tor undefined reference to ___stdinp expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib Trace/BPT trap
No other messages or notices are recorded.
