Java 1.5 update 4 issues with Snow Leopard

CAfter Mac OS X Snow Leopard upgrade, I had to download Java 1.5 update 4 and got following error:


Java for Mac OS X 10.5 update 4 can't be installed on this disk. This software can only be installed on Mac OS X Leopard




Here is a solution:

  1. Click on Finder -> Utilities -> Disk Utility 
  2. Click on HD and run Repair HD Permissions
  3. Restart you Mac and magic should start happening!

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
