Just recently purchased a Quicksilver 867, updated the system via software update to make everything current. Then I installed the 10.1 developer tools from the ADC website......

But everytime I try to run Project Builder, it simply will not run. You will see the appplication begin to emerge from the dock, but then it suddenly closes out. This seems to be the only application that does not work, which sucks because Project Builder is the rosetta stone of the Dev tools. Is this a documented problem and what are the steps that need to be taken to correct this. I have performed reinstalls of the developer tools numerous times furnishing the administrator password at each install instance to begin installing the tools.

So what is going on here?

I'm having the same problem. What the hell?

Look in the console for any error information.

Are you sure you downloaded the newest version? What you describe would happen if you used an old version of Project Builder. The ADC website has new and old versions for download, so you might have just clicked the wrong link by accident.

Well I still have the disk image that I downloaded off of ADC and it is the December 2001 Developer Tools (Dec2001DevToolsCD.dmg). I also read the latest ADC e-mail and it shows me that they releast two minor updates to to the December Dev tools package. I also ran them for the heck of it and still nothing. This is so bizarre.

I'm wondering....My account is an admin account, but are the Dev tools required to be installed as root for it to install successfully?

Look in the console (or system.log) for any error information. That way someone might be able to tell what's wrong.

sorry about that. I'm new at this so please bear with me.

Ok, I cleared my console file and then tried running the project builder. Here's what console tells me.

dyld: /Applications/Developer/Applications/Project Builder.app/Contents/MacOS/Project Builder can't open library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaKit.framework/Versions/A/JavaKit (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

ah ha! I've spent hours scouring the web for December Dev Tool failure birds-of-a-feather, fix, or symptoms. I don't come with a solution, only more details.

When I run pbxbuild (the cmd Project Builder) from the command line, I get the following error:

dyld: pbxbuild can't open library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToolSupport.framework/Versions/A/ToolSupport (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

Sure enough, I don't have that exact directory path, and when I look at what libraries it needs with the following cmd

&gt; otool -L pbxbuild

I find it wants several libraries (only missing that one):

pbxbuild:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation (compatibility version 300.0.0, current version 397.4.0)
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToolSupport.framework/Versions/A/ToolSupport (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 15.0.0)
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PBXCore.framework/Versions/A/PBXCore (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 22.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 50.0.0)

So my question is, where did my library go? I have reason to suspect that the 10.1 Dev tool download was corrupted, so in a week or so I'm going to get a clean copy and try another reinstall. I should also mention that I totally removed /Developer and reinstalled the Dev tools that came with 10.0. And that's what I have now.

Please any insight is welcome!!!

No. The JavaKit thing is a bug in one of the language updates. This is a FAQ on the projectbuilder mailing list at apple. You need to reinstall your JavaKit. Reinstalling the dev tools should work IIRC.

I've had a similar problem. Some or all of these may work for you.

First, if you have updated the OS, you should have to install the Developer's Tools that were released at the same time (or later in the case of the December Developer's Tools.

Second, there is a little command line script in the Developer's Tools folder to run before installing the new tools. It is located both in a separate text file and in the installation instructions.

If none of those work, get rid of all the old developer's tools. Just drag the old folder to the trash. (You can save your old files first if they are in there.) Then install the new tools.

You may have trouble emptying the trash due to insufficient rights. The only thing that worked for me was finding the hidden trash folder and deleting the files from the command line. I tried logging in as root and emptying the trash, su to root and emptying the trash, booting to OS 9 and emptying the trash, and none of that worked. You have to go into your home directory, then cd desktop, and then cd .Trash, then you can rm or rm -r. I'm sure there is a way to reveal hidden directories, but for me it was just trial and error. (Note: the directory won't be there unless there is something in it. Maybe it's just a link to another location.)
