It has been a while since I have run Tor and wanted to get current and
configure a server. I pulled down the installations bundles, both
2.0.35-0.1.14-universal and 2.1.16-rc-0.1.14-universal. I'm trying to
do the installation on my Intel Mac running OX X 10.5.7 and Firefox
3.5. When I run the installation bundle it gets partway through and
then I get the failure message: "Install Failed. The following
install step failed: run postflight script for Tor." If I look at the
console I see this:
6/30/09 4:05:20 PM runner[44595] postflight[44638]: /Applications/
Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin: /Applications/Firefox.app/
Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin: cannot execute [Exec format error]
6/30/09 4:05:20 PM runner[44595] postflight[44638]:

software manufacturer for assistance.

I can run firefox-bin from the command line copying and pasting the
path. I made sure Firefox wasn't already running. I also tried a
custom install with the Torbutton turned off but still got the error.
Any ideas?
