help with uninstalling dev tools, etc....
I think my Dev tools are messed up so i want to reinstall them.
I think they are messed up for several reasons, one, being that i cant get them to recognize SDL frameworks. anyways.,.. .whats the best way to go about doing this safe so that i dont mess up anything else? I also have XDarwin and Fink installed. ps. I'm a newbie so be simplistic with your answers please! thanks a ton!

LOL! i should have been more explicit.
open and read the file at /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl it's a perl script that cleans up stuff to allow you to reinstall dev tools... #! /usr/bin/perl # Remove the receipts of a Developer Tools installation so a subsequent # installation of an older developer tools release will work correctly. ### This script will remove # 1. The package receipts for Dec2001DevToolsExtra # 2. the version.plist files in vmutils.framework and # AppleScriptKit.framework from Apr2002DevToolsExtra # And the Apr2002DevToolsExtra package receipts. # 3. All files and receipts for all other Dev* packages. # 4. A few odds and ends that aren't explicitly listed in # the BOMs (post-install symlinks, help index files). you'll need to be super user to run it, i think... % sudo /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl to remove fink % sudo rm -rf /sw and comment out the call to /sw/bin/init.csh in your .tcshrc file yes, it's mostly harmless, unless you have dependencies on the stuff

octavius,
I made the same mistakes before, and still do a lot of different ones while learning. Don't worry about it. Just don't give up. Slowly but surely we all learn somethings every day. Cheer up... |

To remove the developer tools folder open the "Terminal"
/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. Once that is open copy and paste this in: sudo /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl Exactly as shown above. It will ask for your admin password type it hit enter, it will do the rest. little late on a reply |
