Install-Problems (Linker Error)

HI all,
after downloading the new 4.4-version i thought to take a new ride on compiling my first mac-os-app. But how described in some other threads I only get linker errors (out of date etc. an ranlib(1)).
I shold install "Unix developer Tool" but where are these Tools??? I've an Tiger-Version 10.4.11 installed and on that DVD there are no such tools and nowhere an option to select these tools. Perhaps I am to old but I can't find them anywhere.
Is there anything i can do other clicking on xcode to install? (I've done that about 10 times .... with no success ...) The installation seems to be OK, but obviously it is not OK ...
So my short questions:
Where are the "Unix Developer Tools" on the Tiger Install-DVD located?
How can I update "ranlib"?
Many thanks for some help!

Man, it's been so long since I did that step that I don't remember how it worked, but I seem to remember that you had to run the XcodeTools Installer off of the DVD and it puts a huge folder in your root folder called "Developer". I'm using Leopard so I don't know where Tiger puts the installer on the DVD but I'd just (maybe using 'Find') look for Xcode and the installer.
I hope this helps. Maybe someone else, with a better memory, can fill in the blanks.

Well, did you get it to work? Do you have the 'Developer' folder in your root folder? You need the files in that folder along with XCode.

Oh, I'm not sure how the linking between pb and the XCode libraries work either. I don't think I've heard of this problem before and I'm afraid this is over my head. I can't remember if I used the system installer (with the option to install the developer tools) or some other installer. Maybe.. trash/empty 'Developer' folder and try installing them again (being sure the tools are from the same system dvd your using)?
Maybe a suggestion from someone else?
You should have these folders in the 'Developer' folder:
usr
Tools
SDKs
Private
Makefiles
Library
Headers
Extras
Examples
Documentation
Applications

Hmm ...
Thank you for your patience!
I will check if I use the correct DVD ... (But I've only one). And I will try to delete the folder.
More comming soon!

Its hard to offer useful help without knowing the exact error's you're getting.
Post the linker errors here and someone might know what to do.
On a side note, are there any spaces in the purebasic folder path?
That has been known to cause linker errors in the past.

Hi!
I think it's not a bug ... it's something what i do completly wrong (since version 4.31 I think). As I wrote, my problems are not only under TIGER (Intel). The problems are the same on my PPC Macs. So if nobody else has this problems, so it must be my fault or something with my instalations, but where!!
It would be so great if someone could help!
