ppc failed inexplicably about git-osx-installer HOT 8 CLOSED

that error actually isn't indicative that it failed all together.  I'm still 
not sure why it shows, but I just saw it show 
up on another computer, and the install actually worked perfectly.


... strange :)

The port is a bit older. Can you see if it installed on your computer? What 
happens if you type 'git --version' in 
Terminal.app?

Roger went ahead and installed git via macports... so the thing to check would 
be if:

/usr/local/git/bin/git runs

yeah the port install worked.  Apparently there's a work around tim put up on 
his
blog

s-official.html

I got this same error when I installed it on my ppc using a non admin account. 
When I
swapped over to my admin account it did not show the message. But git is still 
not on
the path. Off to sort that out now.

Does this help?

the rest of the log is in attach.

I just found out all files seem to be in place, in spite the installation 
failure.

Works as advertised.
