I am building a simple package on OS X using pkgbuild that consists of a folder of stuff and the pre/postinstall scripts. When I try to execute the resulting package, the installer fails with the following message in the log:
Nov 1 13:28:11 localhost installd[631]: ./preinstall: 2013-11-01 13:28:11.074 installd[637:203] * NSTask: Task create for path '/tmp/PKInstallSandbox.P6mPx2/Scripts/com.xyz.utility.pkg.TWwYct/preinstall' failed: 22, "Invalid argument". Terminating temporary process.
The installer is running as root. The problem does not appear to be the contents of the scripts since they fail even after I cut them down to a simple "exit 0" with the interpreter declaration. This issues occurs on 10.8.2 and 10.8.4.
The issue looks like an exception that is thrown from within an NSTask object, but all I get is this 22 error code and the "Invalid argument" message. I think this message might refer to an NSInvalidArgumentException. I made sure the scripts are indeed being placed at the temporary location listed in the error message and they are there with the correct permissions.
Any ideas as to what causes this type of error message? I found several references to this error when I did some searching but there didn't seem to be a unifying cause or solution.
Add #!/bin/sh header into the preinstall script.

I have a macos app with a pkg installer. The pkg has a postinstall.sh and a preinstall.sh.
On most machines it works fine but for certain customers I get reports that the script has failed.
I've asked the users to send me the installer logs but those don't contain the actual bash error only something like this:
Sep 14 15:04:16 Filestars-Mac-Mini installd[2540]: PackageKit: Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112 "An error occurred while running scripts from the package “Filestar.21.0.12.0.osx-x64.pkg”." UserInfo={NSFilePath=./preinstall, NSURL=file:///Users/filestar/repos/Filestar/Filestar.Installer/macOs/Output/Filestar.21.0.12.0.osx-x64.pkg#Filestar.pkg, PKInstallPackageIdentifier=com.Filestar.pkg.Filestar, NSLocalizedDescription=An error occurred while running scripts from the package “Filestar.21.0.12.0.osx-x64.pkg”.} {
NSFilePath = "./preinstall";
NSLocalizedDescription = "An error occurred while running scripts from the package \U201cFilestar.21.0.12.0.osx-x64.pkg\U201d.";

PKInstallPackageIdentifier = "com.Filestar.pkg.Filestar";
}
How can I get the actual error?
During your preinstall.sh and postinstall.sh scripts, append to a log file. For example, you can rm -rf /var/tmp/Filestar.log during preinstall.sh then append anything you deem interesting there. Doing the same for postinstall.sh. Then if the user reports an issue have them send you the log file.
I am using terraform on my Mac system, and terraform apply results with below error
Error: command "bash" failed with no error message
on ssm.tf line 7, in data "external" "ssm-dynamic-general":
7: data "external" "ssm-dynamic-general" {
However there is nothing wrong in ssm.tf file, same runs perfectly fine in my another system.
Can some one please let me know what i am missing here?
You might have done what I accidentally did: not follow the external program protocol:
https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/external/data_source.html#external-program-protocol
In my particular case, I failed to send the errors that were coming from my program to standard error. Instead, those errors were going to standard out.
That's why Terraform wasn't able to report on those errors.
So if you send any and all errors from your program to standard error using > &2, you should be able to see those errors when you run terraform plan.
I imported a new code into Xcode and I am getting this error:
Command
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swiftc
failed with exit code 1.
How do you fix it?
Try cmd+alt+shift+k. This cleans your derived data and might fix the issue.
As far as I know there can be multiple reasons why a compiler fails. Although cmd+alt+shift+k will help most of the time. If this fails, then click on the error message and try to debug it.
For example in the image below, if you read the message, we get to know that, there has been a name duplication. Fixing the name duplication will fix the
I'm trying to use chef to check out a git repo to a windows client node.
This seems simple enough and I've got the following resource definition:
git "C:\\pathtocheckout" do
repo "https://gitserver/repo.git"
action [ :checkout, :sync]
end
But when this is reached by chef-client I get:
Errno::EIO: git[C:\pathtocheckout] (cookbook_name::test line 21) had an error: Errno::EIO: Input/output error - CreateProcessW
I've had a look at the stacktrace produced and it appears to be something to do with creating a process to run the git command - but this is the limit of my knowledge.
I've made sure git is installed on on Path, removed all other recipes from the run list, running as a different admin user and I've tried different repositories but all with the same error.
So I'm pretty stumped - anyone got a way I can dig into this error and see what is going on?
I'm trying to build a simple cluster based on Windows XP. I compiled OpenMPI-1.4.2 successfully, and tools like mpicc and ompi_info work too, but I can't get my mpirun working properly. The only output I can see is

It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort. There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems. This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):

Where z:\hosts.txt appears as follows:

host1
Z: is a shared network drive available to both host0 and host1.
What my problem is and how do I fix it?

Ok, this problem seems to be fixed. It seems to me that WideCap driver and/or software components causes this error to appear. A "clean" machine runs local task successfully. Anyway, I still cannot run a task within at least 2 machines, I'm getting following message:

I googled a little and did all the things as described here: http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2010/03/12355.php but I'm still getting the same error. Can anyone help me?
Upd2:
Error code -2147217400 might be WMI error WBEM_E_INVALID_PARAMETER (0x80041008) which occures when one of the parameters passed to the WMI call is not correct. Does this mean that the problem is in OpenMPI source code itself? Or maybe it's because of wrong/outdated wincred.h and credui.lib I used while building OpenMPI from the source code?
