I can buy that the XCode install placed them in /usr/bin, but my installation shows a link count of "1", so they must be copies rather than linked. I looked through /Library/Receipts with: find . -name "*\.bom" -exec lsbom {} \; | grep SetFile and got no "hits". I don't know how to find out what installed them in /usr/bin. -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF

Did you do the default full installation of the developer tools? One of the packages in the full suite is "UNIX Development Support". Its description: "Optional content to allow command-line development from the boot volume. Installs a duplicate of the GCC compiler and command line tools included with the core Xcode developer tools package into the boot volume. It also installs header files, libraries, and other resources for developing software using Mac OS X into the boot volume. This package is provided for compatibility with shell scripts and makefiles that require access to the developer tools in specific system locations. This content is not relocatable and will only be installed onto the boot volume." This package is responsible for putting a second copy of all the command line development tools (such as gcc and including SetFile) into /usr/bin. The only Xcode installers I have handy are 3.1 (Leopard) and 3.2.1 (Snow Leopard) and they both have this package. Another possibility is if you had reinstalled the system after installing the developer tools. That would have rebuilt /usr/bin from scratch, so you would no longer have the second copy of the command line developer tools there. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

However, I also looked through the files installed by the "UNIX Development Support" package and found it to be exactly as Mr. Empson says. -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF
