0.5.0b installation fails - slartibart

gentle persons,

this is a MacOSX 10.4.x related bug of Apple's installer app. While I redid the installer available for download, if you have problems installing under MacOSX 10.4.x please do the following:

- delete any cb2bib-related receipt inside the folder /Library/Receipts BEFORE running the installer

- run the installer.

If this give the again the "there is nothing to install"-error message, you can extract the files from the installation-bundle and install manually:

----------------------------------------------------------
- Select the cb2bib 0.5 installer icon.

- Control-Click *or use the show package content-command from the menu; this works not on the desktop but within any directory* and choose "show package content" from the pop-up context menu.

- In the opening window, open the "Contents"-folder.

- Inside there is a file called "Archive.pax.gz", double click it. The content of the archive will be expanded to the new appearing folder "Archive".

- Inside the extracted "Archive"-folder you'll find 2 folders: "Applications" and "usr".

- Inside "Applications" you find the cb2bib05-folder - copy it where you want to have it. The folder "usr represents the installation folder hierachy for the additional files from the cb2bib-distribution -> Archive/usr/local/cb2bib and Archive/usr/local/share/pixmap.

-Make sure that you copy the folder Archive/usr/local/cb2bib to /usr/local/cb2bib .

That's it. Now run the latest cb2bib.
----------------------------------------------------------

Sorry for the inconvinience, but this is a bug from the installer app.
