What steps will reproduce the problem?  
1.Downloaded psutil-0.1.3-py2.6-macosx10.4.dmg (From DMG name it seems it is only for OS 
X 10.4.x)
2.Mounted and ran 'mpkg' installer
3. After service agreement , Select a Destination screen appears 

What is the expected output?  


What do you see instead?  
It shows 'psutil 0.1.3' can't be installed on this disk.psutil requires System Python 2.6 to install. 
(screenshot attached) What version of psutil are you using? On what operating system? version 0.1.3. Mac OS X 10.6.1 

Please provide any additional information below.  
1) My Mac machine has Python 2.6.1 installed (comes default with OS)
2) I tried on another Mac (OS X 10.5.8) having python 2.6.5. Is there any issue with on 10.6.1 
machine?

On my other Mac machine (OS X 10.5.8) having python 2.6.5), it worked fine. psutil gets installed. But on OS X 
10.6.1 Mac, I am still getting same issue.

The installer packages are built on OS X 10.4 so I'm sure that's causing the problem somewhere along the line. I 
will post some new packages built on my current 10.6.3 machine or you can build from source in the meantime if 
you have xcode installed.

You can try the new installer here: 
http://psutil.googlecode.com/files/psutil-0.1.3-py2.6-macosx10.6.dmg Let me know if you still have problems with the 10.6 built installer.

Thanx for looking into this.
Checked with new installer, same issue persists. 'psutil 0.1.3' can't be installed on this disk message.

Do you have an unusual setup? I notice in your screenshot you have 3 disks in what looks to be some kind of 
developer setup. I've only tested the installer on my machine which has a typical default single-disk 
installation but it works normally here on 10.6.3

Can you send the output of "which python" so I can see where your Python 2.6 is installed? For example on my 
system it looks like this: 

  /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python

I have 3 volumes (2 for OSes and 1 for Data).  My Python version is 2.6.1 and it is installed at 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python

And logged in user has Admin level privileges.

I'm not sure what causes this problem, but it looks like my system is 
using a Python 2.6 version in /Library instead of /System/Library and 
it may be related to why the installer doesn't work for you. I'd like 
to try this on a clean 10.6 system rather than an upgrade from 10.4 
as in my case but unfortunately I don't have another mac. I'm out of 
town at the moment but I will try and take a look at this some more next week and see if I can make any progress.

The new installer is built on my system with a completely stock 
Python installation, reinstalled fresh this time instead of upgraded 
from OS X 10.4. It would be good to know if this issue is 
reproducible still. Since no one else has reported an issue with the 
installer so far, I'm going to close this one out for now and we'll reopen if there's still an issue.
