  think; at least, WYANT is the right CPAN username) if you're using the
  'cpan' script.

 There's a problem with this software if you are running Mac OS 10.4 or
 above: the get the real pasteboard name functionality dies with a
 bus error. Unfortunately I found this by having my machine die and
 acquiring a new machine with 10.5, so it'll be a bit before I can put
 full time on sorting this out. The easy thing for me to do is to
 publish an update without the functionality. Until then, disable it by
 doing a 'make realclean' (or './Build realclean'), editing Makefile.PL
 and/or Build.PL to comment out the lines

 $osvers = 10.004
 and push @ld, '-DTIGER';

 and rebuild. This is probably what release 0.000_02 will consist of,
 when it gets made.

I was wrong. The problem was that I didn't dereference a pointer I
should have. So version 0.000_02 has just been uploaded, with the
Tiger (and up) functionality working, instead of causing a bus error
as 0.000_01 did. In addition, a couple compiler complaints were
cleaned up.

I'd try cleaning out your CPAN directory to see if that helps.


I assume that by my CPAN directory, you mean:

/Users/timothybailey/.cpan

I cleaned it out entirely, and tried doing some installs, but I am 
still getting errors - the same as before with running my test 
scripts.
