What does 'file /usr/bin/tar' say? On an older version of MacOS X, it should say something like: % file /usr/bin/tar /usr/bin/tar: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures /usr/bin/tar (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 /usr/bin/tar (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 /usr/bin/tar (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O executable ppc ...but a 10.8 binary would not include the ppc flavor.
