Can you tell me which version of Xcode you are running? Do

	open /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app

then under the "Xcode" menu look at "About Xcode" .  It should give the
version number, as well as the component version number.   Send those  
to me.

Everything seems to work fine for some installation on Intel, and others
have seen the problem you describe.  Look very much like some
Xcode version issue.

Best WIshes,
Greg
