osx - Why is /usr/bin/arch not installed? -
my application has been depending on presence of /usr/bin/arch , , understanding part of standard mac os x installation. it's there if install snow leopard dvd, without installing developer tools. however, i've encountered 2 users 10.6.7 missing file. there normal way of getting mac os x omits arch ? or these users' installations happen broken? /usr/bin/arch part of com.apple.pkg.basesystem package, should present in every stock mac os x installation. running: $ pkgutil --file-info /usr/bin/arch will tell package installed /usr/bin/arch , , running: $ pkgutil --files com.apple.pkg.basesystem will tell contents of package. it might worth run latter in machines of users haven’t got arch .
