Did you just move from a PPC-based Mac to an Intel-based one?
If so, you're out of luck --- you need to go back to the PPC
to make a dump of those files.
No, I just re-installed my Intel Mac. First I just upgraded from
Tiger to Leopard (without getting my database to run; but I didn't
put much effort into it); and then I completely erased the disk and
installed Leopard from scratch.
Hmmmm..... Can't be that I am standing now there having lost my
data, no? Please, any faintest idea what I can try?
Ok, it seems to be related to a Intel/PPC issue, as Martijn and Tom
suggested.
So, I copied all files to a PPC, but which runs Linux - don't know if
this is important. Now, it tells me:
"Fatal error: Incorrect checksum on control file"
Any way out of this? Thanks for any advice.
