Hi,

I've managed to install an unpatched MacOsX (updated to 10.5.4) on my Toshiba PC and I'am really surprised smile.gif

I want to try to develop an iPhone Application and so I installed the iPhone SDK (with XCode), full installation. When the application starts, I get the following error: "*** -[NSCFString replaceCharactersInRange:withString:]: nil argument".

I can create a new Application, but then, a new error appears "*** -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil key" and this error message appears in an endless loop.


I try to reinstall the SDK but it doesn't help. The older Xcode on the Leopard DVD is working.



Thanks for help

From one of the first lines, xcode can't detect you machine type. I think you might need a patched version of mac os x...

Thx for the quick reply, skyhighmac. (And sorry for my late reply)

I'm trying to reinstall MacOsX with the Jas installation DVD. I'll post results, when I managed to run XCode without errors.

Wow, works out of the box! Really nice smile.gif

Thats good. You almost always can't get away with a clean install.
